If you use aptitude interactively, after hitting 'g'o the first time, it
presents a list of what it wants to do. If you scroll down the
packages, for each highlighted package it will tell you why it wants to
do something. You can then tweak. It also presents a list of
recommended and suggested packages from which to choose.
