While I think installing recommended packages by default is a good
choice, disabling it is also a really good option on servers. Installing
every recommended packages is sometimes the best way to bloat your system.
It makes me think I'd love a system where Apt::Install-Recommends could
be set to "ask" and let apt ask me if I want the recommended packages
for my current request.
