Dear Maintainer,

I was reviewing liblinear for inclusion in Ubuntu main (since nmap now
Depends on it).  And I noticed that it Recommends libsvm-tools.  For Ubuntu,
I'm dropping this to a Suggests to avoid having to promote libsvm to main
as well and because I think it is slightly more appropriate.

The only references I could see to the tools were in the man pages as
commands that one might be interested in if you were using this package.
Which sounds exactly like Suggests.

Thanks for considering the patch.
