Bug Description

Hi,

It seems that unicode-data is described as 'suggested' in unicode package description.
But neither synaptic or apt sees it correctly.

in apt, if I run the command:

$ LC_ALL=C apt-get --install-suggests -s --reinstall install unicode
NOTE: This is only a simulation!
      apt-get needs root privileges for real execution.
      Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,
      so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!

Inst unicode [0.9.5] (0.9.5 Ubuntu:12.04/precise [all])
Conf unicode (0.9.5 Ubuntu:12.04/precise [all])

apt-get did not attempt to install unicode-data (it is not currently installed).

Synaptic lists the package as a suggestion, but the entry is disable (and I don't know why).

It may be a bug in the package description.
