You are right, this is a perfect use case for Recommends. Making gdb depend on python-dnf-plugins-extras-debug would be my second choice. Installing a plugin by default just because it's more convenient in some situation is not wise. > Anyway, whatever in dnf-plugins-extras that depends on snapper really > ought to move to another package.

Note that dnf-plugins-extras is just a metapackage, the plugins themselves are placed in individual subpackages. I assume you are looking for python-dnf- plugins-extras-debug.
