I think the use case is users who are being control freaks about the set of packages on their systems. If the set of packages being pulled in as recommends is *wrong* (they don't fit the Policy definition of Recommends), bugs should be filed against those packages and be fixed. If the set of packages is *right*, then there's no good reason to give users a big "ignore Policy" button at install time. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
