I understand your position about recommended packages and in case of KDE it looks like it does make a lot of sense. I used to install recommended packages until I came across packages that recommended all kind of questionable stuff, in my view, (some g**gle services, etc, if I remember correctly). After that incident I put in a restriction on recommended packages. Ran Wheezy for years without installing recommended packages and it never was much of a problem, to the point that I even stopped bothering looking at what packages are recommended. I think I will keep the restriction in place for now and just pay more attention to the recommended packages section. Thanks for your help
