Comment 6 for bug 129605

I've looked into this and it's aptitude which is installing recommends by default.

apt already has support for this in Debian, but won't make Gutsy, but rather Hardy. Synaptic still let's you install recommended packages if you set it in preferences, but that's not the way to go...

However, as I said, I don't feel comfortable with adding it as a dependency, since it isn't really a dependency. It adds some functionality, but you don't it to make listen work (as you need python or pygtk...).

Do you know of any other way to 'fix' this without having to add it to depends?
