| purge | no | no | Will forge purge of configuration files if state is set to 'absent'. |
| default_release | no | Corresponds to the -t option for apt and sets pin priorities | |
| install_recommends | no | yes | Corresponds to the --no-install-recommends option for apt, default behavior works as apt's default behavior, 'no' does not install recommended packages. Suggested packages are never installed. |
