Missing suggested/recommended package

[Paul Bransford]

The k3b program looks for and uses "transcode" if it is found, I've attached a screenshot of this. The transcode program is available in the package "transcode", but the k3b package neither suggests or recommends this package.

This problem is still present in Ubuntu 18.10.

Package: k3b, Arch: amd64, Version: 18.04.3-0ubnutu2
"transcode" is not in the Depends, Recommends nor Suggests lists, but the software warns me on startup that it requires the "transcode" program for full operation.

Furthermore, the "transcode" package is missing from Ubuntu 18.10 "cosmic cuttlefish" repositories.
