Thank you Gregory, marking Triaged, Medium. This should now be fixable
and hopefully should be in the repos soon. I'll let the developers take
it from here then, thank you.

Importance: Undecided => Medium
** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => Triaged
** Description changed:
+
+ I can now confirm that the simple one line patch
+ previously mentioned, offered by David Kalnischkies
+ in Debian bug #433007 fixes this problem.
+ ===================================
+
Binary package hint: apt
I ran "apt-get -s install" on packages that had been Auto-Installed,
and apt-get modified the Auto-Installed state (from "1" to "0").
According to the man page, this should be a simulation and no system
information should be changed.
Here's a transcript of my attempt to first remove a package and
then mark it's brothers as not-auto-installed. Everything I did
was with the -s flag, but still the state changed.
