Title:
  Recommended packages don't show up as addons in USC

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  software-center-gtk3 trunk r2202, Ubuntu Ocelot

  1. Go to the screen for "Battle for Wesnoth".
  2. Scroll down to the "Add-ons" section.

  What you see: There is none.
  What you should see: There is one, with a checkbox for "music files for Wesnoth (branch 1.8)".

  According to the specification, if package A recommends or suggests
  package B, then package B should show up as an addon of package A in
  Software Center. This isn't happening. A specific example is
  wesnoth-1.8 which recommends wesnoth-1.8-music.

  If it's not desired to show all recommended or suggested packages as
  addons, then the specification needs to be updated so that packagers
  know what to expect.
