Package: devscripts
Version: 2.16.8
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/mk-build-deps
Hi,
when installing build-dependencies of a package, I usually use
(sudo) mk-build-depends -i
All the dependencies that are installed by that command are marked as
manually installed.
As a result, removing the foo-build-deps package again, will not
autoremove the pulled in dependencies.
It would be nice if those were marked as auto so a
apt autoremove can clean those up.
Regards,
Michael

I guess this issue can be closed. I investigated this further and this
seems to be a bug in aptitude, which I used to uninstall the foo-build-deps.
Seems apt correctly marks the packages as auto-installed (as can be seen
by apt-mark showauto) but aptitude keeps it's own state in
/var/lib/aptitude/pkgstates which is disconnected from apt's db.
I've filed #841347 for that, fwiw.
Regards,
Michael
