Normally, in the package relation graph itself.
For instance, in Debian gstreamer1.0-libav and gstreamer1.0-plugins-good are
_recommended_ by libwebkit2gtk-* packages. From a user point of view, that
means that when he mark epiphany-browser for installing in a package manager,
such as aptitude(1), they are marked as well, but, unlike hard dependencies,
can be unmarked.
The same applies to atool and its backends, by the way.
