AFAIK aptitude considers the package intentionally installed if you do installation using aptitude. Otherwise it will try to remove the package (if nothing else depends on it).
to fix it just hit '+' (ask aptitude to install it) when it tries to remove it. From then on it will know you want the package.
I guess the underlying problem is that apt-get doesn't differentiate between packages installed as a dependency and packages installed explicitly by user so aptitude has nothing to decide whether you installed the package.
