This is very weird!
Please take a look at what happened on one of boxes I administer:
# aptitude search ~i | grep ^id | cut -c 1-35
idA gir1.2-clutter-1.0
idA gir1.2-cogl-1.0
idA gir1.2-coglpango-1.0
idA libclutter-1.0-0
idA libcogl-common
idA libcogl-pango0
idA libcogl9
# aptitude search ~i | grep ^ip | cut -c 1-35
ip autotools-dev
ip gir1.2-gtk-3.0
ip hwdata
ip libavahi-gobject0
ip libgnome-desktop-2-17
ip libseed-gtk3-0
# aptitude --purge-unused markauto autotools-dev gir1.2-gtk-3.0 hwdata \
libavahi-gobject0 libgnome-desktop-2-17 libseed-gtk3-0
The following packages will be REMOVED:
autotools-dev{ap} hwdata{ap} libavahi-gobject0{ap}
libgnome-desktop-2-17{ap} libseed-gtk3-0{ap}

The weird thing is that the first set of packages (the ones which were
initially shown as "idA") lost their auto-flag, after the second set of
packages (initially shown as "ip ") were marked with the auto-flag (and
immediately purged).
I had to re-set the auto-flag for the first set of packages, in order
to see them automatically purged!
