The new APT default is that Recommends are the same as Requires and so
a lot of unnecessary packages are now installed. Those should now be
pushed into Suggests.
Feel free to file bugs for every package which abuses Recommends. Beware
though, that Recommends, according to Policy, should be installed "on
all but unusual installations".
Kind regards,
