Aren't some of these recommended packages only alternatives? Are you
sure they will really be installed if run --with-recommends?

For example:

>   esound-clients *exim* exim4 *exim4-daemon-heavy* *exim4-daemon-light* fam 
> gcc 

Which package recommends exim4-daemon-heavy?

$ grep-aptavail -nsPackage -FRecommends exim4-daemon-heavy
education-main-server

Can't be that one, because it's not in the desktop task.
