Hi!

How can I make Apt automatically follow recommendations and/or
suggestions? This feature would be useful to me since I would like to
obtain the documentation to a package as well as the package itself. So,
for instance, when doing

apt-get install libtool

I also would like to get libtool-doc. In addition, I have a similar
request for installing libraries. When installing a new library using
Apt, I also would like to obtain the *-dev version (which also
contains the corresponding header files. Are such requests taken care
of by Apt and/or the dependency system? If so, which options/commands do I
have to use to make this work? I was looking in the documentation on Apt
being shipped with Debian Potato, but I could not find anything regarding
this issue. In case I was overlooking something, I apologize.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Greetings,

        Holger
