Thanks for the review.
conky-all wasn't marked as 'auto install', I manually marked and installed it
as standalone app, then was surprised it would get removed if I wouldn't
closely pay attention to what gets autoremoved.
It wasn't brought_in_as_a_dependency from another app if this is the meaning of
it.
e.g. lets say I've installed Gnote manually and it wouldn't get autoremoved,
why is that?
I'd simply expect after manually installing an app it doesn't get autoremoved.
While description of aptitude declares it as auto installed, of course the
result is positive.
$ apt-mark showauto | grep conky-all
conky-all
Note differences below, conky-all will_be_removed, conky may_be_removed.

This is a dummy package to ease transition to the new packaging scheme. It may
be safely removed after upgrade/installation.
