There is an aptitude preference for this. (I always set it even on 'normal' machines - recommends brings in way too much stuff :-) Perhaps we should just set that option as the default on emdebian apt? > > Maybe downgrade Recommends to Suggests unless there is a clear reason > to retain it? > This is probably a more fine-grained approach than either including the > alias in the default environment or confusing users by forcing a > cross-built aptitude to treat -R as the default instead of -r. Isn't effectively merging suggests and recommends in emdebianised packages _less_ fine-grained than leaving them as is, but defaulting both to 'not installed'? Or have I misunderstood?
