Seconded!

You know, if apt could only support Reccommends, task packages could be
a lot saner. Sure, it'd still be ugly if something they depended on went
missing, but at least they'd still be usable.
I think apt could support reccommends like this:
* Automatically install all reccommended packages when
installing/upgrading a package.
* If a package that something reccommended was manually removed, don't
re-install it next time a package that reccomends it is installed.
Of course whether this is doable is up to Jason..
More later, my battery is dying.
