[tryton-debian] Bug#801394: Moving unoconv from Recommends to Suggests

Hello Cédric,

as was already discussed in [0] the default installation of tryton-server
should provide a working setup out of the box. The conversion of documents into
other formats in tryton-server currently depends on unoconv and will just
silently fail, when unoconv is not installed.

Of course it would be preferable to use less 'bloated' alternatives for the
document conversion and we will happily change to them or include them as soon
as they are available with trytond [1].

Cheers,
Mathias
