I think that adding 'APT::Install-Recommends "false";' depending on
apt version inside chroot sounds like a better solution.  Changing
command-line option will need a lot of changes in different places.

It will however affect user sessions (pbuilder login and execute) as a
side-effect, but we should work-around by documenting that.

How does that sound?
