Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.1.5-1
Severity: wishlist

Another blurry bug report about a blurry subject. Sorry.

We see some inconsistencies
$ strings `which aptitude`|grep Recomm
Apt::Install-Recommends
Apt::AutoRemove::RecommendsImportant
aptitude::Keep-Recommends
APT::Install-Recommends
aptitude::Ignore-Recommends-Important
aptitude::Recommends-Important
$ man aptitude|col -b|grep Recomm
           This corresponds to the pair of configuration options 
Apt::Install-Recommends and
           Apt::AutoRemove::InstallRecommends.
           This corresponds to the configuration option Apt::Install-Recommends
Also big R has two -o's, but little r has only one:
       -R, --without-recommends
           Do not treat recommendations as dependencies when installing new 
packages (this overrides settings in
           /etc/apt/apt.conf and ~/.aptitude/config). Packages previously 
installed due to recommendations will not be
           removed.

           This corresponds to the pair of configuration options 
Apt::Install-Recommends and
           Apt::AutoRemove::InstallRecommends.

       -r, --with-recommends
           Treat recommendations as dependencies when installing new packages 
(this overrides settings in
           /etc/apt/apt.conf and ~/.aptitude/config).

           This corresponds to the configuration option Apt::Install-Recommends

Also e.g., for Apt::AutoRemove::InstallRecommends one cannot tell if -R
means setting it to false or true.

Anyway, After update; but before full-upgrade
$ aptitude why iso-codes
i   apt-listchanges Depends    python-apt
i A python-apt      Recommends iso-codes
After full-upgrade
i   midori                          Depends libwebkit-1.0-2 (>= 1.1.15)
i A libwebkit-1.0-2                 Depends libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0 (>= 
0.10.16)
i A libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0 Depends iso-codes
So one needs to upgrade to see the real why...
