Comment 4 for bug 833650

I'm also affected by this bug. The Software I'm developping doesn't shows it's 3 recommedations as a USC addons. I noticed this happens to other software in repos like "rednotebook".

In rednotebook you have:

Recommends: python-gtkspell, python-webkit, python-chardet

And none are shown.

In my case, my package has:

Recommends: texlive, texlive-publishers, xdg-utils

And none are shown either, nor installed, they are just ignored. This is quite undesirable because the user will have and under-featured software without knowing why, and without an easy ability to fix it. The only solution is is installing recommendations by hand via terminal, which is quite advanced for basic users.
