Hi Andreas,

Adding these surely are easy - thanks for doing so. Some maintainers
prefer keeping nonessential dependencies as Recommends or Suggests and
since this is my first encounter with busco I cannot say much about it.

As for autopkgtest, busco has fna files under test_data/. Bit more
problematic is that busco needs some data from BUSCO database [1] to
calculate genome coverage. These could be downloaded and stored
somewhere under debian/ for autopkgtest purpose, but I cannot find the
licensing information.

Sure, I can upload if we decide that autopkgtest could wait.
