Why not make it a dependency tree? It's confusing that both paramiko
and pycrypto are strongly recommended unless pycrypto is directly used
by bzr. Mentioning it in a list (probably being the only item in
that list) after paramiko gives a better overview of how many packages
you need to install for a given feature.
