Package: vrms Version: 1.32 After “apt-get purge vrms”, the new check-dfsg-status package is free’d for autoremoval. This is because the vrms package is not a transitional package as it’s not in Section oldlibs (at least; may be other reasons but I cannot find where it says the conditions right now) and apt therefore doesn’t copy the is-manually-installed status from vrms to check-dfsg-status.
