Hello,
currently behaves the same as

It's true for "-o UseSuggests=yes" too.
Uncommenting and setting these options in
/etc/debfoster.conf has no effect either.

I noticed this nehaviour when trying to minimize
install list for gnumeric. I did't succeed with
debfoster and was forced to use aptitude (which I
hate to do BTW). With aptitude I managed to part
with evince, gnome-icon-theme, gvfs and other
"Recommended" crap.
