Haha. :) I'm working on a script for creating the CDs, but each time I
include a package I need to include all dependencies that are needed,
that's why i'm running apt-get -s install and grep for the Inst lines to
know what packages are needed. Ideally I should add recommended packages
to this list ...

And yes I know, apt-cache, it's very useful too, thanks.

The better for what ? The more likely to be used/installed ?
