The easy way is running tasksel and selecting "C and C++" under
"Development".

Apt does this pr. default. Here is an example:
# apt-get install mysql-server
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
libdbd-mysql-perl libdbi-perl libmysqlclient10 libmysqlclient12
mysql-client
mysql-common
Suggested packages:
mysql-doc
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libdbd-mysql-perl libdbi-perl libmysqlclient10 libmysqlclient12
mysql-client
mysql-common mysql-server
0 upgraded, 7 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 5059kB of archives.
After unpacking 12.4MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
So you see, it shows every package that is going to be installed and it
shows that the mysql-doc package is sugested to. You might want that one
to :)
