I'd assumed that there were just two package states concerning that: manually installed: not marked with A auto-installed: marked with A Even if there's a third, neutral, unmarked state - it's still a problem in my eyes when users switch from dselect to aptitude. Where does it say "thou shalt only use one package managing frontend?" C.
