Hi.
why doesn't aptitude show me for what purpose a package reccomends or suggests
another?
I'd very much like that because sometimes, perhaps many times, I can't guess
it and even if I can guess it, how do I know?
I find that many times README.Debian doesn't mention those things.
Any thoughts about this?
At times like this, I just flip to another open xterm and do
"apt-cache show".

Scientists are people, too. IOW, they also "crave power, money,
respect, and influence, and they also fear for their jobs. Each
can be a healthy motivator, but each has the ability to turn a
good scientist into a bad one; and in some cases, they can turn
a good scientist into a charlatan."
