I checked that and some time ago had set Recommends back to install by
default, but had forgotten. When I initially installed Stretch last
year I had set Recommends not to install as a precaution against
systemd reinstalling itself which it tried to a lot. That changed
after about a month or so. After a while since I was having to install
some Recommends by hand anyway as apps were complaining, I set it back.
I apologize for my forgetfulness.
