severity 439265 important

I'm bumping severity because this bug has "a major effect on the
usability of a package." Package management exists because users don't
want to fiddle with dependencies.

This does not only involve *-data packages. Steps to reproduce:

1. Install the tor package
2. Verify that privoxy, tsocks and socat are installed along with it.
3. Uninstall tor
4. Now I have three more packages installed than before step 1.

This behavior defeats the whole purpose of package management. During
the four months I've now been using synaptic, I cannot recall a single
instance where synaptic removed more than the requested packages.

Please fix this as soon as possible.

Regards,
André
