So I switched over to aptitude but now I notice that aptitude installs recommended packages as well. So my apt-get install python-epydoc -> 4mb aptitude install python-epydoc -> Need to get 340MB of archives. After unpacking 685MB will be used I don't think that is what I have intended here. So now I am not sure if I should suggest aptitude as it installs more then required. How are you guys deal with this issue?
