Inkscape package should require (not suggest) python-lxml

Bug description:
I wanted to embed my images in the Inkscape SVG file. After learning
the (esoteric) way to do this, I went to Effects->Images->Embed All
Images...
I then hit "OK" and the following message popped up:
"The fantastic lxml wrapper for libxml2 is required by inkex.py and
therefore this extension. Please download and install the latest
version from <http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/lxml/>, or install it
through your package manager by a command like: sudo apt-get install
python-lxml"
I checked, and sure enough, that package was missing. I installed
python-lxml and then the menu option worked as expected.
I'm running Ubuntu 8.04, a clean, fresh install. I installed the
Inkscape package via Synaptic.
My issue is, why doesn't the Inkscape package require python-lxml? I
checked, and it "suggests" the python-lxml package but does not
require it.
Considering that this menu option is not obviously denoted an
"extension", "plugin", or "module", it's frustrating that it doesn't
work with the base installation.
