Finding 'recommended' and 'suggested' packages with apt-cache
In order to find out what all a particular package will install, in particular recommend and suggested packages, run the following:
sudo apt-cache depends
This will show all depends, recommends suggests as well as conflicts. Interesting to know exactly what packages will be installed.
This could also be done with 'apt' but exactly how hasn't been investigated.
