Ah, now it looks better. I wonder why this metapackage does not use
depends but only recommends.

Yes, you are right -norec does not install recommends. We have
PACKAGES install but in FAI.me it's currently hardcoded to use install-norec.

Currently not, but I will think about implementing it. Seems like a
nice feature to me. Another checkbox should do the job.

I may change the FAI.me behaviour globally for some tests, maybe this
evening or tomorrow.
