Title:
  apt not installing suggesteds

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I want "apt-get install" to install both recommended and suggested packages. I've tried to get it to do that as it is documented and also as has been discussed here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=43382. I have failed to get it to install the suggested packages. Here is what I have tried
      sudo apt-get --install-recommends --install-suggests install <package>
      sudo apt-get --install-recommends -o APT::Install-Suggests=true install <package>
      sudo apt-get install <package> --install-recommends -o APT::Install-Suggests=true
      (adding a file, 99all, to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d, containing:
             APT::Install-Recomments="true";
             APT::Install-Suggests="true";

  It seems like the feature is broken.
