📄 Description

Debian packages can define 'recommended' dependencies, which are strong, but not absolute, dependencies.

This PR adds support for that. A .NET project can define a recommended package by specifying the DebRecommends property, like this:

  <ItemGroup>
    <DebRecommends Include="libssl1.1" />
  </ItemGroup>

Recommended packages are installed by default, unless the --no-install-recommends flag is specified when running apt-get install.
