Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.4-4
Severity: normal
tasksel has to run aptitude --without-recommends because there are
(still; see #388290) a great many bogus recommends that would unduely
bloat the tasks it installs.
However, according to #417689, if a user uses aptitude with recommends
and later runs tasksel, it can remove lots of packages:
> The problem is that, in aptitude, --without-recommends
> triggers the removal of automatically installed packages
> that are recommends and not depends: so it should be avoided.
So I guess that aptitude needs a way to get the --without-recommends behavior
when installing new packages, without the behavior of recoming old
automatically installed recommends. Or alternatively, is this just an aptitude
bug?

Version: 0.4.5-1
Package: aptitude
For some reason, these bugs didn't get closed when 0.4.5-1 was
uploaded.
(these should all be aptitude bugs. I checked them by hand before
closing, but I could have typoed; I apologize if I hit anyone else's
bugs but my own!)
