[quote man apt-get]
OPTIONS
       All command line options may be set using the configuration file, the 
       descriptions indicate the configuration option to set. For boolean 
       options you can override the config file by using something 
       **like -f-,--no-f, -f=no or several other variations.**


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

So maybe 
      --no-install-recommends=no 
or
      --install-recommends
or
      --no-no-install-recommends



actually I tested apt-get --install-recommends ( -s install) ...` and it seems
to work just fine. So probablyI misunderstood the "we need to add" which was
meant as "add this parameter to the command issued" rather than "add this
option to apt-get option parser / valid syntax"
