sometimes i do, sometimes i do not.  I usually look at the recommends of
any package that i'm deliberately installing to understand what i might
be missing.  The issue here is that this is a recommends of a
dependency, though, and not a recommends of cheese itself, so it never
occurred to me to look at it.
