It's just a "Suggest", so it won't be installed, unless you ask for it.
So simply don't. The original command output shows that only
libc6 libedit2 libkeyutils1 libkrb53 libncurses5 libssl0.9.8 locales
openssh-client
will actually be installed. All other packages are just suggestions,
that one installs if one wants --- manually.
