Description

The new Extension Manager does not handle suggested extensions declared as 'suggests' constraint/dependency in ext_emconf.php.

Example with system extension saltedpasswords:

    'constraints' => array(
        'depends' => array(
            'typo3' => '6.0.0-0.0.0',
        ),
        'conflicts' => array(
            'kb_md5fepw' => '', 
            'newloginbox' => '', 
            'pt_feauthcryptpw' => '', 
            't3sec_saltedpw' => ''
        ),
        'suggests' => array(
            'rsaauth' => ''
        )
    ),

In the case of saltedpasswords the (system) extension rsaauth is suggested.

The "old" Extension Manager handles this dependency-type by
1) informing the user that there is another extension suggested by the currently installed extension
2) offering the user a button to install the suggested extension with just one click
-> see attached screenshot

The new Extension manager should handle it similiar.

The new EM will be based on Composer which does not allow suggestions.
Suggestions are an old concept that won't make it in the extension manager anymore

Just in case it was overlooked:
Composer has something like suggestions: https://getcomposer.org/doc/04-schema.md#suggest
