When you issue wget --recursive --level=1 --reject=.html www.suse.de
wget 1.7 really ommits downloading all the .html files except index.html (which is needed for --recursive), but wget 1.8.1 also downloads all .html files that are referenced from index.html and deletes them immediately. It is clear that the .html files are needed to find the next level of files when downloading recursively, but they should be ommitted when the recursion depth is limited and the limit has been reached.
