well, they're not as easy and as practical as apt-get install...

hmmm it should *at least* show something like:
"Package foo suggests: packg1, packg2, packg3"
and asking:
"Would you like to install those?"
or even:
"Would you like to select the ones you wish to install?"
then asking a Y/N prompt for each package...
that feature could be configured so that the ones who really don't
care and don't want to answer these questions will be satisfied too

Asking the user is almost always the best approach ;)
