I thought I was already doing that (different Testing installation from OP):
# cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00InstallRecommends
APT::Install-Recommends "false";
APT::Install-Suggests "false";
# apt-get install devscripts
...
The following additional packages will be installed:
<lots listed>
Suggested packages:
<lots listed>
Recommended packages:
<lots listed>
...
0 upgraded, 48 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
Need to get 6,874 kB of archives.
After this operation, 23.0 MB of additional disk space will be used.
