Current evaluation

Feature request for a stage-packages-with-recommends flag so snap Recommends are auto-fetched from stage packages instead of listed manually. Open ~10 years with no labels, comments, or maintainer interaction.

Suggested action: needs triage

Reason: The issue has zero labels, zero comments, and no maintainer response in ~10 years, so it has never been assessed; however, closing as stale would require evidence the feature was implemented elsewhere or is no longer applicable, which could not be verified (repo/code search tools were unavailable and no related issues surfaced). A maintainer should decide whether this long-unaddressed feature request is still wanted.

Issue body

Sometimes Recommends from stage-packages are neded, but you don't want to list them all manually (or update the list when the stage-packages reccomends list changes), so it would be nice to add add a stage-packages-with-reccomends flag or similar.
