I might be misunderstanding situation with dependencies here then. Let's assume that I have set my system to install recommended packages by default and I try install "gnome" package. It has some packages in Depends, some in Recommends. If it has N-M in Recommends, I can unselect it during installation. This will result with my system having gnome with all its dependencies and recommendation installed except for N-M. Then some time later during upgrade it'll upgrade all packages but will not install N-M; at the same time it'll install new package that was added to Recommends in that new version. It this correct description of apt behaviour, or have I misunderstood something?
