I believe that this is because aptitude maintains its own record of
which packages you have installed automatically and manually. If you
ever use a different package manager (apt-get, synaptic), this database
gets out of sync. You can get around this using "aptitude unmarkauto" -
see the aptitude man page. There is also some discussion in a previous
thread (http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2006/05/msg01734.html).
Also, I think that aptitude installs 'recommends' as well as 'depends'
dependencies.
If you choose this from the aptitude options menu.
I was assuming aptitude in CLI mode, in which case the command for
unmarking automatic install is
# aptitude unmarkauto --schedule-only '~i'
For not installing 'recommends' it would seem that the switch
-R, --without-recommends
would do the trick, though I have not tested this.
