Sure, I do that myself for really, really small installs, with the 
understanding that I have to deal myself with any issues that might 
arise due to missing recommends.

Quoting from APT's changelog:

    apt (0.7.0) experimental; urgency=low

      [...]
      * merged "install-recommends" branch (ABI break): 
        - new "--install-recommends"
        - install new recommends on "upgrade" if --install-recommends is 
          given
        - new "--fix-policy" option to install all packages with unmet
          important dependencies (useful with --install-recommends to
          see what not-installed recommends are on the system)
        - fix of recommended packages display (only show CandidateVersion
          fix or-group handling)
      [...]

This change was documented in the Release Notes for squeeze (Debian 
GNU/Linux 6.0, released in 2011), though it seems like it was already 
included in lenny (released in 2009).

Kind regards,
