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, hackish, non-universal workaround :)
apt show PACKAGE | sed -nr '/^(Suggests|Package): /{s///;s/(
\|[^,]+)?,//g;p}' | xargs apt install
