Thank you for all your comments and suggestions.
My interest in this question stems from the fact that I'm getting
ready to do a full reinstallation of my system, and I don't want to
repeat my previous mistakes.
My concern is that the unwanted packages could have landed in my hard
drive when the

You don't have to do anything. Neither apt-get nor aptitude installs a
suggested package by default. In fact, apt-get ignores the Su

Thanks for the tip -- I was wondering if there was a configuration

How can this be, given that I never use the `--install-suggests` flag
when I run `apt-get install`, and I don't have `Item:
APT::Install-Suggests` in my `/etc/apt/apt.conf`?
I must have
