Aptitude installs all recommended packages by default which was rather
annoying until I found that in the options menu as I ran out of space a
couple of times.
p.s. Have the devs considered using an _apt user for doing the
downloads. Should only take a couple of minutes to add. You may want an
advisory to warn users to check their firewall rules however.
