It would be sad to loose this.
Don't we lose it already on October 1st when apt-get installs all Recommends per default? It's ok for high-level tools like aptitude and Synaptic to behave that way, but I'm not exactly happy for apt-get to go that way. At the moment, we who have read Michael's announcement, know how to get the old behaviour back (althouth apt-get complained about the line he provided), but soon nobody will remember. Then I wonder if this feature you praise is lost. Regards, Joey -- The only stupid question is the unasked one.
