Why of course.

Muhahaha, checkmate.
Wait,
-R, --without-recommends
Do not treat recommendations as dependencies when installing new
packages (this overrides settings in
/etc/apt/apt.conf and ~/.aptitude/config). Packages previously
installed due to recommendations will not be
removed.
This corresponds to the pair of configuration options
Apt::Install-Recommends and Aptitude::Keep-Recommends.
Errr, do I need both?
