I agree. This recursive behaviour of '--install-suggests' option makes
it unusable, because it pulls enormous amount of dependancies your never
want. I suggest just changing it to non recursive without even adding
other options, as I hardly believe somebody wants it as it is now.
By the way,

--install-suggests incorrect, it is internally inconsistent.

The claim that it does what it says it does is false.
What it, in fact does, is consider suggested packages of OTHER packages
as a dependency for installing. This recursive behavior is not
advertised and not acceptable. For that behavior, one should have to
use an option such as
It does precisely what it says it does.
--install-suggests
Consider suggested packages as a dependency for installing.
