[aklug] Re: ubuntu likes to install bunches of irrelevant pa

Thanks to Shane Spencer for getting me pointed in the right direction.

After winding and turning and going roundabout it turns out, in the graphical ubuntu
package handler under "Settings -> Preferences" there's a checkbox called "Consider
Recommended Packages as Dependencies". Checked 'yes' is the default. Go figure.
Unchecking that has solved a large part of the useless crap situation.
