I am not sure that using the very weak dependencies (Suggests and
Enhances) will be very useful.

rpm and yum will of course ignore the "Suggests/Enhances" dependencies.

Zypper will not install "suggested" packages by default, I actually
don't believe there is an option to tell zypper to install "suggested"
packages if they are available. Zypper can be used to query the package
to see if there are any "Suggests/Enhances" dependencies.

I don't know how dnf handles these very weak dependencies.
