    Recommends
        This declares a strong, but not absolute, dependency.

        The Recommends field should list packages that would be found
        together with this one in all but unusual installations.

    Suggests
        This is used to declare that one package may be more useful
        with one or more others. Using this field tells the packaging
        system and the user that the listed packages are related to
        this one and can perhaps enhance its usefulness, but that
        installing this one without them is perfectly reasonable.

To the best of my knowledge, the dia | dia-gnome and skencil
applications are NOT found together with inkscape "in all but unusual
installations".  Therefore these packages should NOT be in the
Recommends field.  They should either be in the Suggests field, in the
Description field as a `see also' note, or not listed at all.

I believe this bug is NOT a duplicate of #328423, because that bug
discusses libraries and support utilities that enhance Inkscape; this
bug concerns with APPLICATIONS that merely support the data file
format as Inkscape.
