Bug Description
Binary package hint: aptitude
version: 0.4.6.1-1ubuntu3 (gutsy)
To reproduce:
1. Mark a metapackage (I used xubuntu-desktop) for installation
2. All dependences and recommendations are marked as manually installed (and even some dependences of those are too)
This, of course, makes it frustrating when I don't necessarily want all the recommendations.
