thanks
But on the apt-get man page,

       --install-recommends
           Also install recommended packages.

       --no-install-recommends
           Do not install recommended packages.

don't mention which is the default, nor their -o parameters. And there is no mention of the
---...suggests switches at all.

In fact there is a third good mention,

       --no-install-recommends
           Do not consider recommended packages as a dependency for installing. Configuration Item:
           APT::Install-Recommends.

which needs to be merged with the above two.
