Whether top or bottom I do not care, but you are right that the different categories are confusing. I always thought that there's "REMOVED because ..." on the one hand and "REMOVED ..." as the union of the "REMOVED because" lists. Usually this occurs with "aptitude remove foo", and I'm being told that this will automatically also remove bar and libbar1, and totally "foo bar libbar1" will be REMOVED. But a REMOVED list that doesn't cover everything is not useful. Either it's dropped completely, or it's updated to really cover the complete union of all of them. I would prefer the latter: When there's a larger dist-upgrade, this is often the only section that I closely inspect. I expect if something really unwanted is going on, it will show up there.
