I don't think that this is a so good idea. If a recommended package
requires is marked for installation and also requires addition package,
what would happen? Popup another "mark required changes" dialog? This
could end in quite a mess of dialogs.

But I cannot provide another solution at the moment. The only that I
could think of was to add a general "suggestion are dependencies" in the
preferences.

At the moment there is also the possibility to install suggested or
recommended packages via the dependencies tab. Perhaps we should stick
with this.
