Versioned Suggests are moot. What does help is a Breaks relation
against unsupported versions of cmus.

The cmus package currently Recommends the cmus-plugin-ffmpeg package,
i.e. it gets pulled in by default. Promoting cmus to Depends for this
package will thus result in a circular dependency chain and that has
to be avoided.
