Note that for a minimal dependencies default, the options to
apt-get are not ideal. We have these two options related to
the dependency graph.

       --no-install-recommends
           Do not consider recommended packages as a dependency for installing.
           Configuration Item: APT::Install-Recommends.


       --install-suggests
           Consider suggested packages as a dependency for installing.
           Configuration Item: APT::Install-Suggests.


Looks like we need to add this:

       --install-recommends
           Consider recommended packages as a dependency for installing.
           Configuration Item: APT::Install-Recommends.


cheers,
