When doing my version of a minimalist install, I use lines

tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard

After browsing the man pages for aptitude and apt-get I was
wondering if I could come closer to my goal with fewer experimental
iterations if I could disable the installation of "recommended"
packages.
I envision something *SIMILAR* to:
tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard
d-i pkgsel/include string mate-desktop-environment pluma synaptic
gparted
Try something like
aptitude -R search '~pstandard' mate-desktop-environment synaptic pluma
gparted
If it fits, then repeat the command with "search" replaced by "install".
I heartily recommend the package aptitude-doc-en and the sections "Search term
reference" and "Command-line reference" therein.

But I'm doing this during an automated install, there is no running system
;/
d-i base-installer/install-recommends boolean false
I knew there had to be a way. Thank you.
