Bug#244710: Wishlist: allow --with-depends

["D. Goel" <deego@socionomics.net>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: wishlist

Would love to see apt-get also prompt for all packages that are
recommended (or suggested) by any of the packages that are being
installed... perhaps doing something similar to the recursive
dependency-lookup.  viz.  have an option to treat recommendations as
if they were dependencies.. and have another option to treat
suggestions as dependencies.


PS: aptitude already has a --with-recommends... somethign similar for
apt-get would be awesome.
