Dear all,

I'm one of the maintainers of a downstream Debian repository.
We install a meta-package to install the most part of the package from the repository. Most of the users would like to be able to uninstall packages that are not fully required without uninstalling the meta-package.

I've seen that it is possible to mark package as "recommended" so it will be installed at the first installation.

If I mark a new package as recommended on a new release, does this package will be installed on upgrade on the user system ? Otherwise, is there a way to install a new package on upgrades that could be remove by the user without to uninstall the package that recommends it ?

Best regards.
