Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.11.1-1 Severity: normal I use Git to share my key dotfiles, including .aptitude/config, among various machines. These machines run various combinations of stable, testing, and unstable. Recently, aptitude started transitioning my ~/.aptitude/config from Aptitude::Recommends-Important to APT::Install-Recommends, and blanking out the former. While I appreciate aptitude upgrading my configuration automatically, the blanking of Aptitude::Recommends-Important makes my .aptitude/config no longer disable installation of Recommends on systems running older versions of aptitude. Thus, I need some way to tell aptitude to stop changing Aptitude::Recommends-Important in my configuration, or better yet to let it continue to reflect my choice for "Install recommended packages automatically" provided through the aptitude preferences UI.
Could you please either: * add an option to preserve the value of Aptitude::Recommends-Important rather than blanking it, or * continue to write out Aptitude::Recommends-Important in addition to APT::Install-Recommends, since it does no harm?
