Add ability to automatically fetch Recommends from (a subset of) stage packages
Metadata
Current evaluation
Feature request to let selected stage-packages pull their Debian Recommends automatically; it remains open, unlabelled, and untriaged after nearly 10 years.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The issue has no labels, maintainer response, comments, or other evidence of maintainer assessment. Current documentation only describes explicitly listed stage-packages, and repository searches found no general Recommends support; implementation would need clarification on subset syntax, package-manager scope, and whether dependencies are transitive.

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.
