Dear fellow Debianauts,
right now I am in the process of migrating my selection of manually \
installed packages to a freshly debootstrapped install using a set of \
meta-packages built with equivs. While that works nice and well, in some \
instances, I would like to limit the number of recommends being pulled in, \
without turning recommends off completely (the meta-packages themselves use \
Recommends:dependencies). So the --no-install-recommends parameter or \
APT::Install-Recommends "0" are of no help in this case. Any ideas how to \
block installation of only some packages' recommendations?

#Best Regards/Marcel Partap
