@ximion thanks for this substantial work. The list of enhancements looks impressive. In testing on Jammy where I compare this to the prior versions, manual and automatic marks are as before which is good. We haven't confirmed meta package upgrades that pull in new dependencies (as with kernel packages) because we haven't seen an upgrade yet. However, we may build a package to test this.

This may also be an issue with unattended-upgrades since I found the following line commented-out by default: // Remove unused automatically installed kernel-related packages // (kernel images, kernel headers and kernel version locked tools). // Unattended-Upgrade::Remove-Unused-Kernel-Packages "true"; We have had a system with as many as 15 kernel packages installed as a result of this not working as expected. The majority of these machines are using Discover to do their package upgrading, which uses PackageKit as its backend.
