Setup 2.930 does not set the 'user_picked' flag in

An installation could be replicated by extracting a list of
'user_picked' packages from installed.db and pass it via -P to setup.
But in this new installation, all non-Base packages will appear in
"Unneeded" view then.
I guess this is not a regression but longstanding behavior.
Hmm... I certainly envisioned it working that way when I added recording
user_picked (See comments on [1], [2]), but I can believe it's got
broken at some point...

No patch provided for now as I don't know the best way to change this.
But yes, this is definitely a bug!
