The point is that Recommends are installed by default.

But this is not the whole point. Features with privacy concerns
should never be enabled by default (unless the feature is the
only purpose of the package, and such a package would never be
installed automatically -- and even in such a case, there should
be a big warning first).

Here, I had originally installed StarDict many years ago, just
to be able to use the Littré dictionary (stardict-xmlittre)
from the application.
