Missing Recommends and Suggests dependencies #27

I don't know if it is a shared opinion, but i find Recommends dependency useful for automatically download the enhancement libraries need for the project after the user approval. That make things much easy for the users while still leaving the user choice approval choice.

I see the Suggests dependency as useful when users don't read your Wiki or other documentation, and since they often just run it... At least this way they have the advices under their eyes at install time.

BTW, i know that we sadly often miss that point, but thank you very much for that great peace of work 👍 I was happy to modify my code to use your artifact instead of the rpm-maven-plugin one 😉

This should be fixed in version 1.0.0 which I just released. Please re-open otherwise.
