Hi,

I am designing a test right now, and I would have to add a large number
of packages of the tested package Recommends to the test dependencies.
As I want to test „If this package and all its recommends are installed,
then foo works.“, this is a counter-productive duplication.

It would be great if the test could depend on „foo and all its
recommended packages“ somehow.

Thanks,
Joachim
