Bug Description
software-
software-center 13.10, Ubuntu 14.04
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.

I'm also affected by this bug, with i386 architecture though... It happened on my application's DEB package, which 'Recommends' an other package, which didn't show up as an Add-On on USC.
