Nah. I didn't read it at all. :P I only installed the package for the one tool, as I was trying to generate better back traces for #977901, and when it didn't work I just reflexively filed this bug. (Unfortunately, even with all the *-dbg and *-dbgsym packages this tool suggests as well as chromium-dbgsym, the back traces that chromium generates are still almost entirely symbol name free.) I don't have apt configured to automatically pull in Recommends, but I do have RecommendsImportant set so it will keep them once I add them. I find that works better on my system, especially when a Recommends can be satisfied by more than one package. I routinely use the aptitude "Audit Recommendations" feature, so I usually have Recommends satisfied anyway, I just "jumped the gun" on this bug. It's all good, and quite appropriate that you closed this bug with no package changes and just a prompt to correct my expectations.
