Excerpt from aptitude-doc-en:

Option: Aptitude::Recommends-Important
Default: true
Description: If this option is true and Aptitude::Auto-Install is true,
    installing a new package will also install any packages that it
    recommends. Furthermore, if this option is true, then packages will
    be kept on the system if an installed package recommends them. 

>From this it's unnecessarily hard to understand which packages that
will be kept on system if an installed package recommends them (last
sentence). Does this refer to packages that are marked as being
automatically installed or packages that are marked as being manually
installed? Of course the obvious answer to that is that the only
packages for which it matters are the ones automatically installed.
I still feel it would be clearer and less prone for misunderstandings by
someone that is new to aptitude if the last sentence was changed to
something like:

Furthermore, if this option is true, then packages [marked as
automatically installed] will be kept on the system if an installed
package recommends them.
