I checked that and some time ago had set Recommends back to install by default, but had forgotten. When I initially installed Stretch last year I had set Recommends not to install as a precaution against systemd reinstalling itself which it tried to a lot. That changed after about a month or so. After a while since I was having to install some Recommends by hand anyway as apps were complaining, I set it back. I apologize for my forgetfulness. B
