So you do something like:
apt-get -o APT::Install-Suggests=true install foo; or similar.

Well, this hint was given now in the initial thread on Debian-Med
and well, this actually would be an option - but if I fail to find
this documented in the man pages I posted I think it is not
apropriately documented. I also was sure that it is _possible_,
but IMHO this is (1) a quite difficult option for a feature that might
be needed by users who do not want to dive into details of apt and
(2) not properly documented.
Do you think that I should file (1) and (2) as different wishlist
bug reports or is it rather one single problem. Or am I the only
one who thinks this is a real problem. I'm a little bit reluctant
to add a further bug to apt which just has gathered anough that
might be considered as hot air.
Kind regards
Andreas.
