Don't install Recommends during base system installation
Analysis has shown that the previous change to install Recommends as set in debconf leads to inconsistent results (as debootstrap does not honor Recommends) and would require --no-recommends for most system boot related packages (udev, initramfs-tools, mdadm, etc.) to ensure consistency between installs and to avoid premature installation of e.g. exim4. Therefore initially set up APT not to install Recommends and reconfigure it at the very end according to the debconf setting.
