The "^" and "$" characters indicate that just the recommendations for the
package beginning with apt and ending with apt are to be considered.

Wouldn't that just result in initiating an explicit 'install' action on
the Recommends:'ed packages, though?

Only the upgradable packages would be upgraded. And aptitude doesn't change the 
auto/manual state.
