Some packages have an awful long list of recommendations, not to mention recursive dependencies that won't go away on "_", because they are on the recommends list of others. "_" or "-" are *not* an undo of "+" in aptitude. (Maybe this could be changed as well. *Very* often I have to leave aptitude with ^C to get back to a reasonable state, ignoring the previous list of packages to install.)
