I agree, we don't need pre-emptive downloading of packages without an explicit user request for installation.

No doubt it's in your head already, but we could do a lot better with package recommendations than simply looking at the Recommends metadata. For example, if the user has python-dev installed, and installs libmysql directly rather than as a dependency, we could recommend the Python bindings and development libraries. I suspect a lot of this will require some server-side smarts but it's a fruitful area for us to be exploring. Mark
