Package: debian-installer-utils Version: 1.131 Severity: important apt-install only passes the APT::Install-Recommends option to apt-get if it will differ from the value of base-installer/install-recommends. If that is set to true (the default) then --with-recommends doesn't affect the apt-get command.
However, base-installer initially sets APT::Install-Recommends to false regardless of the debconf setting. This means that --with-recommends doesn't work during the base install.
