@valentindavid reports: > When adding packages to section "build-packages", it seems snapcraft tries to install the recommended dependencies. I have tried both 5.x/stable and latest/stable. It calls "apt install" with "--no-install-recommends". But it also passes as parameter all the recommended packages. Probably because it gets those when trying to resolve the versions using the AptCache API. Is that normal? Is there a way to not get recommended dependencies? Craft-parts should be fixed to not install recommended dependencies.
