Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.1-1 Severity: wishlist Using debfoster, I have some packages like strace or tcpdump marked in a way that the packages are uninstalled whenever debfoster is invoked. This is a very handy way to get rid of packages that tend to get installed on productive systems for debugging while nobody bothers to remove them afterwards.
debfoster is going to be removed from Debian, losing this functionality. Please consider implementing persistent package states, which survive manual package state changes. That way, I'd like to have tcpdump maked as "to be uninstalled" even if it just was manually installed.
