Yes, I think there should be easy ways to get answers to following
questions:
1. What functionality do I lose if I remove/don't install this
recommendation?
2. What should I install to get this optional function? This can't be
always conveniently achieved by reversing 1., because sometimes you need
to install several additional packages for one function.
3. What Recommends: and what Suggests: are not yet installed for this
installed package?
