Yes (but not urgently).

suggest:

The policy http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html
says: 

  Recommends
  
  The Recommends field should list packages that would be found together
  with this one in all but unusual installations. 
  
  Suggests
  
  This is used to declare that one package may be more useful with one or
  more others. Using this field tells the packaging system and the user
  that the listed packages are related to this one and can perhaps enhance
  its usefulness, but that installing this one without them is perfectly
  reasonable. 

I'd translate this to: 

  * recommend dependencies in the modes installed by default
  * suggest dependencies in modes in jed-extra/extra
  
(the latter will need manual activation anyway, so IMO it is not an
 unusual installation to have jed-extra but not slsqlite, say.
 
Another criterium might be the dependencies of the sl* packages. I would
not like, if e.g. jed-extra will (by default) install a complete sqlite
database system.

This is already fixed upstream (together with some more fixes), so that
I'd rather prepare a new upstream release than a patch.
