Did you try without recommends? Beware, depending on version (stable or 
not) the method to turn of recommends may differ.

You can also try Doug's suggestion and look at each package aptitude 
wants to install after the first 'g'. If it's only pulled in by a 
"recommends" than it is safe not to install it (though you might miss 
some functionality).
