Bug#388290: more info on bogus recommends



One way to see the recommands is to run aptitude --without-recommends in
a fresh chroot. Some results.. I've marked packages that I feel are
probably wrong to be pulled in via recommends with asterisks.

aptitude --without-recommends install '~t^desktop$'
...
The following packages are RECOMMENDED but will NOT be installed:
  ** aspell-ar aspell-bg aspell-br aspell-ca aspell-cs aspell-cy aspell-da
  aspell-de aspell-de-alt aspell-el aspell-en aspell-eo aspell-es 
  aspell-et aspell-fa aspell-fi aspell-fo aspell-fr aspell-ga
