If the system is non graphical the utility of user-he is dubious.

Regarding the effectiveness of Recommends and Suggests in aptitude and
synaptics I'll need to test it and get back to you.

One thing to consider maybe is to stop depending on
depend/recommend/suggest and provide a graphical program that the user
can run in order to adjust his system between the different options and
it can also say "you have openoffice installed, do you want Hebrew
support for it?", we could have a nice clippy graphics for this feature
:-)
