[Buildd-tools-devel] Bug#449253: sbuild: pass --no-install-recommends to apt-get on new versions of apt

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.56
Severity: normal

apt-get in unstable (0.7.something) has started installing recommends
by default. Thus unstable sbuild chroots will now install many more
packages than required (especially when dealing with texlive packages),
potentially hiding lacking build-dependency problems.

See #448562 on similar discussion on pbuilder.
