Yes. I wasn't aware debian_support was used by some other python-debian
modules, so I guess bumping to recommends is in order.

I haven't looked, but if what is used from debian_support is the version
comparison code, I'd recommend switching to using apt_pkg directly,
since there is no longer only-Python code to do that comparison in
debian_support.

Thoughts?
