But Andy Smith wrote recently that "installing without recommends is not a supported use
case" and I believe him.

On the other hand, https://wiki.debian.org/KVM#Installation advises it:

"When installing on a server, you can add the --no-install-recommends
apt option, to prevent the installation of extraneous graphical
packages"

The truth is definitly out there somewhere.
