And let's look at the -W and -D readability,
# aptitude -W -D safe-upgrade
Resolving dependencies...
The following packages will be REMOVED: # ------------- All jumbled:
libcelt0-0{ap} libsamplerate0{ap}
The following packages will be upgraded: # ------------- All jumbled:
dbus dbus-x11 debhelper debian-reference-common debian-reference-en feh
ffmpeg gnumeric
gnumeric-common gnumeric-doc initscripts libavcodec52 (for ffmpeg)
libavdevice52 (for ffmpeg)

The following packages are RECOMMENDED but will NOT be installed: #
------------- Ahh, nice and tidy:
evince (R: gnumeric, S: debian-faq, S: doc-debian, S: pdfcrack)
evince-gtk (R: gnumeric, S: debian-faq, S: doc-debian, S: pdfcrack)
gnome-desktop-data (R: gnumeric-doc) lp-solve (R: gnumeric)
notification-daemon (R: libnotify1, R: network-manager-gnome)
notification-daemon-xfce (R: libnotify1, R: network-manager-gnome)
notify-osd (R: libnotify1, R: network-manager-gnome)
xfce4-notifyd (R: libnotify1, R: network-manager-gnome)
yelp (R: gnumeric-doc, R: gucharmap, S: doc-base)
Conclusion, the winner is the last section, with one line per item. The
first two sections should take a lesson from that last section,
including its R: S: format instead of the wimpy "for". I bet the "for"
could be replaced by D: and perhaps there's even several different
conditions that could be indicated with one letter abbreviations here.
