With a new enough apt, probably. But not in Squeeze, I think.

Well, apt-get and aptitude have different configuration keys and default values for them (apt-get defaults to not autoremove unused packages). That's a bit unfortunate, but since aptitude had always defaulted to autoremove unused packages and apt versions before 0.7 could not even mark packages as automatically installed, this is understandable. > However, what I'm interested in right now, is how do I access > the list of autoinstalled packages with plain APT or dpkg(1)? With apt, use "apt-mark showauto". With dpkg it's not possible since dpkg does not know about autoinstalled packages.
