I don't think Suggests are generally worth the effort, they aren't installed
by default and so their only minimal value is providing a little
documentation to the user who happens to be looking at the "right" package.

Packages that care about networking support in the initramfs should instead
take care themselves to depend on isc-dhcp-client.

Title:
  missing dependency on isc-dhcp-client (dhclient)

Status in cloud-init package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  cloud-init uses isc-dhcp-client (through 'dhclient') to obtain temporary
  dhcp ip addresses.  It currently does not identify a dependency on it.

  initramfs-tools uses dhclient in scripts/functions to obtain ipv6 addresses
  (see bug 1621507 for more info).

  This bug was prompted by MP to remove isc-dhcp-client from the ubuntu-minimal 
seed
