If a specific package gets upgraded with "apt-get install" it gets also set to manual installed even if it is an automatic installed package. That could be unexpected for the user. Maybe similarly if the user tries to reinstall an already up-to-date automatically installed package, apt must not make the package marked as manually installed; see a fixed bug #139448.
