Never really used aptitude but I've just installed it and ran the curses
variety of the program. "options" at the top of the screen shows
Option: Apt::Install-Recommends
Default: True
Value: True
The behaviour of your aptitude is presumably because you have adjusted
the default behaviour in some way. The new behaviour is not a bug.
Also, a default Debian doesn't have aptitude but apt-get. which installs
recommended packages by default.
