I really don't understand what you're asking for. The "A flag" says
"remove this package when nothing uses it". You want to have packages
that aren't installed and that nothing depends on, but are still
automatically installed? (automatically installed for what?)
Or are you just looking for a way to put "Aptitude::DeleteUnused=false"
in /etc/apt/apt.conf or ~/.aptitude? (hint: use a text editor ;-) )
Puzzled,
Daniel
