My mom was confused as to why if GRAMPS lacked some chart printing 
functionality until I installed graphviz for her.  Seemed a little odd after I 
had talked up the fact that the package manager takes care of those things for 
you.
As the Debian policy lists: "The Recommends field should list packages that 
would be found together with this one in all but unusual installations."
I say just set it enabled by default in Synaptic, that takes care of it for 
gnome-app-install, and anyone who doesn't want it that way (bandwidth concerns, 
HD space, etc) can disable it.  I really don't think additional dialogs or 
hoopla is necessary.
