install-recommends=false means no recommended packages installed when
using d-i and also set it up for the installed system with

  APT::Install-Recommends "false";

in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00InstallRecommends. This will prevail for apt
*and* aptitude.

Similar timestamps? Installed on the same day? Check timestamps on
directories.

The reported "True" is the hard-coded aptitude default. The "Value" will
be shown as "False" because of 00InstallRecommends.
