I agree with this, recommends should install by default by gnome-app- installer and Synaptic, or at least tell us if there are recommends; don't just be silent.

So I could not even figure out how to turn Beryl on. -- enable auto-install of recommends by default https://launchpad.net/bugs/8896 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
