Please note that packages listed in extended_states are NOT manually installed, the packages listed are automatically installed. Every package not in that list is manually installed. Note also that some packages which normally would be auto-installed are marked otherwise because they or their 'depender' are in special sections. So its normal that if you do: $ apt-get install foo NEW: foo nothing changes in regards of the extended states. On the other hand, if it is: $ apt-get install foo NEW: foo foo-data foo-data will appear in extended states as automatical installed. Last hint: If foo is automatical installed and you do: $ apt-get install foo at the end of the operation foo will be marked as manually installed. Hopefully the logic is a bit more clear now. In that light, can you rephrase your bugreport to detail which packages you installed exactly?
