I haven't verified if this claims of yours is true or not, but if it is it rather sounds to me a bug in pbuilder, which should really invoke apt (or whatever) ensuring that it does *not* install recommends. This very same argument also make moot the point about the difficulty to maintain a chroot environment: in doing so you should really avoid installing recommends and configure apt accordingly. If these are the only reason for asking the non-closure of this bug report, please rather reassign to pbuilder. Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli -*- PhD in Computer Science ............... now what?
