But "aptitude" will show a list of suggested packages before the
install. I don't know what synaptic does.

As initial install, these days, is done with aptitude, I don't think
this is so much of a problem.

It has a context menu (i.e. - right click) that says "mark recommended
for installation" and "mark suggested for installation". I don't know
what the default action is (I don't normally use synaptic, I just loaded
it so I can test the answer to this question).
