In terms of minimizing unnecessary libraries, dependencies and recommends that every user package install in Whonix generates without the --no-install-recommends command, is it time to consider this as the default in Whonix?
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d
Add the following:
APT::Install-Recommends “0”;
APT::Install-Suggests “0”;
(also see man apt.conf)
If not the default, maybe emphasize this more strongly in the wiki? Installing software section I guess or maybe as a general hardening step?
