Is this actually "customary"?  In what circles?  I've actually fought
pretty hard in the past to *not* have libraries depend on external
services, daemons, and random binaries, because linking to a library
doesn't necessarily mean every user of your application wants to use
every last plugin/service/etc available to it.

I'd think a Suggests is perfectly reasonable, and explicitly seeding
in tasks (touch, perhaps eventually desktop) where you want that bit
to do something other than be a dormant library dependency.
