The claim that it does what it says it does is false.

What it, in fact does, is consider suggested packages of OTHER packages
as a dependency for installing.   This recursive behavior is not
advertised and not acceptable.   For that behavior, one should have to
use an option such as --install-suggests-recursive and not --install-
suggests.


There is an enormous difference between installing the packages suggested by 
the package geda and installing the packages suggested many levels deep.   Even 
without a defective suggests list, this would not be expected or desired 
behavior.
