Every time I install a package:
sudo apt-get install <pkg>
apt-get displays a list of suggested packages. I have simply ignored these so far, but some of these suggestions are actually good (and some are not). I would like to recover all these lists into one big list (so that I can review it and decide if there is some package I want to install), but I could not see them in /var/log/apt/history.log.
That is, I'm looking for something like
list = []
for package in installed_packages:
list.append(package.name)
print list

Show the Suggests for all packages installed in a one-liner:
It queries the dpkg database, lists all locally-known packages marked other than "nothing" (also lists uninstalled), in a custom output format, then filtered for really installed packages and filtered for packages without suggests.
