From 1bdb6457ddae110e76c0bf95b649f3fe9c74a91f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Eggleton Date: Sun, 9 Oct 2022 17:39:46 +1300 Subject: ref-manual: complementary package installation recommends Add a note to the COMPLEMENTARY_GLOB variable glossary entry mentioning that recommends aren't installed (since this seems to be the only place that complementary package installation is really discussed). Also turn the paragraph about globbing into a regular paragraph as I don't think it should be called out in a note block.
