Package: synaptic
Version: 0.81.2

Dear Maintainer,

synaptic ships /etc/apt.conf.d/99synaptic which sets
APT::Install-Recommends to true globally for all APT based applications.

IMHO no application should be so arrogant to change that value globally
as its default is "true" anyway and if it has been changed, it has been
changed by the local administrator deliberately and should not be
overriden by any application, especially not globally.

If it's needed for synaptic's well-behaving (which I doubt),
it should set that value internally, but not globally.
