Not sure of how it works in details, but I think it's wrong, at least in 
most cases, with apt-get. I remember discussions when the new work mode 
became standard also in Debian.
In apt.conf file, for example, to reduce installed packages, you can 
also put a setting:

APT::Install-Recommends "false";
