Even trickier - since Lenny developers have been much more cautious
about "recommending" packages. Since Lenny SOE engineers have not had to
modify apt.conf so unnecessary and unwanted packages weren't
automatically installed as "recommended" (Sarge and Etch had problems in
that respect). So it's not just a line in apt.conf that changed with
Lenny becoming stable.
Oh, and...
... since Lenny, apt-get will continue to install recommended packages
by default. So I believe "has" is redundant, even though it's correct.
Kind regards
