sd-dlopen: meaning of "recommended" and "suggested"

Hi Luca,

Regarding the meaning of the priorities "recommended" and "suggested"
in the spec [1]: They depend on what "the binary will work" means. We
have seen that this can be subject to discussion.

There is the complementary view: What are the effects of such a
priority? You have mentioned that there is a tool that will translate
the embedded dlopen notes to package dependency kinds:
  - "Requires",
  - "Recommends",
  - "Suggests".
I have investigated how these dependency kinds map to behaviour of the
package manager [2]. The missing part now is how said tool maps priorities
to dependency kinds.

Does it map
  - "required" → "Requires",
  - "recommended" → "Recommends",
  - "suggested" → "Suggests"?

Can you point us to the sources of said tool, please?

Bruno
