Was using an up-to-date Alpha 5

I tried changing the status of the packages under 'Manual'  to
'Automatically Installed' by using the option in the 'Package' menu
entry.

For most of them they changed without a fuss.  However a few packages
uninstalled key parts of the system.  The only problematic packages I
managed to catch were:

ubuntu-desktop
ubuntu-minimal
ubuntu-standard

There are others as well that removed more than they should have but I
didn't bother remembering their names because the packages they asked to
remove seemed 'reasonable' to me at the time.  However, the 3 listed
above will suggest you autoremove your entire system when their status
is changed to 'Automatically Installed' in Synaptic, especially ubuntu-
desktop.
