Help on 'suggests'                                              Feta 1.4.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Debian, packages can 'suggest' other packages. Suggested packages are
generally not installed with the package, but are useful to have around.
They are not required, but might add features that some users find useful,
or provide functionality that is "standard" in other GNU/Linux
distributions, but not in Debian (for example, the documentation for the
ZSH shell is contained in the 'zsh-doc' package, which 'zsh' suggests,
in order to keep the size of the zsh package down).

EXAMPLES
--------
To install the packages that 'zsh' suggests:
 # feta suggests zsh

OTHER REFERENCES
----------------
There is another, slightly "stronger" suggestion, called a recommendation.
Feta has a 'recommends' command as well. Suggested packages are shown
in the 'Suggests:' line of the 'info' command's output.
