Hi Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho , actually, with KeepSuggests, that works. The procedure is as follows: Fist, put Aptitude::Keep-Suggests "true"; in apt.conf
Then 1) mark with "+" the suggested package so it will be installed 2) press the "M" key The package will be kept installed until the package(s) that suggests are removed.
