I highly recommend turning off recommends globally on Debian based
systems. It's a bit more work in the beginning, but you remove a large
set of unknown behavior. With Puppet it is best to be explicit in
describing the final state of your machines and Recommends is a bit too
magical sometimes. It is a gray area based on conversations I've had
with other sys admins and it may make sense in your env.
IIRC is was installing nagios-plugins-all with recommends enabled that
caused our one and only Puppet related site outage. That package pulled
in Nagios which in turn needed apache-prefork which of course removed
apache-mpm-worker and brought the site down. Admittedly we would have
caught that if I hadn't been developing on a VM with Nagios already
installed.
