I was sure there was a switch on apt-get to cause it to display the
suggested and recommended packages, but there's nothing like that
listed in the apt-get or apt.conf man pages, so it may have been my
imagination.

In any case, you may want to take a look at aptitude.  I've never
tried it myself, but I've seen it mentioned here in response to
similar questions in the past.
