Do not consider recommended packages as a dependency for installing.

--install-suggests

Looks like we need to add this:
--install-recommends
Consider recommended packages as a dependency for installing.
Configuration Item: APT::Install-Recommends.

Hello Joel,
As others, I prefer to have control over the packages that I am
installing, so apt-get only pulls the necessary packages related to the
one I am installing instead of pulling everything else which I don't need.
For desktops, as I mentioned previously, I have to be more careful in
installing packages without the "Recommended" and "Suggested" packages
(my default setting). I usually take a note on the list of "Recommended"
and "Suggested" packages. If something didn't work properly, I install
the "Recommended" packages first from the list. If that still didn't
work, I install "Suggested" packages. If that also didn't work, I purge
all of those packages and search for other alternatives :)
Cheers,
Anto
