apt.conf does not exist by default.  However, I'm not sure we want to give a
specific command for this in the release notes, as opposed to leaving it as
a question of using your editor to make the change; generally speaking,
turning off auto-installation of recommends is not going to give very
satisfactory results for the average user, so if a user doesn't already know
how to edit config files on their system, I don't think we should be giving
them a loaded gun to shoot themselves in the foot with.

Cheers,
