FS#893 - Module suggestions are inherited as dependencies.

Obviously the current behavior is broken, but it is not so obvious to me what the correct solution would be.
Consider the following example:
  a suggests on b
  b depends on c
now once we try to linearize these dependencies, I'd first suggest
  a suggest b
  a suggest c
but what happens if I have a and b installed?
The test will find b and try to use it, which doesn't work, as c is missing, which is wrong as well. To fix this issue it would be necessary to use the actual graph build the test in dependencies.m4. I don't  know yet, how much work this would involve.
