next next next step
an hour ago I received an email from my AM who considers my packages to be
in good shape; that means that the "Tasks and Skills Check" part
of my NM
process is finished. & wouter has also already sent the
NM report mail
including his recommendation to accept me as a DD to debian-newmaint! so
only FD review, DAM review, & account creation are lying ahead of me.
I'm indeed quite happy tonight :)

aptitude & recommends
due to the latest changes in apt (which installs packages marked as
Recommends: by default since 0.7.7) aptitude — even if
"Install recommended packages automatically" is not checked in
aptitude's options dialog — pulls in recommended packages
just like apt-get, whether called from the command line or
interactively; cf. also #448561.
the fix to keep both apt-get & aptitude from
installing recommended packages is something like:
#448562.)

$ cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/15recommends
APT {
Install-Recommends "false";
};
(also very useful for (p|cow)builder where installing recommended
packages in the chroot is just wrong & takes a long time; cf. also
