Keeping the current apt default of NOT installing recommended packages and having synaptic explicitely enable the automatic installation of recommended packages could be a solution, too. Though, doesn't synaptic pass the list of packages to install to apt ? I guess synaptic can add the recommended packages to the list all by itself, in this case. I'd really like it if we could keep apt-get as an advanced user tool; aptitude can be used in all the other cases.
