When I type 'aptitude install fuse-utils/etch-backports
libfuse2/etch-backports+M' I expect aptitude to install both packages
from etch-backports and mark the libfuse2 package as being automatically
installed.

What happens is that the libfuse2 package doesn't get selected for
installation, or perhaps it get deselected because "nothing depends on
it". Thing is, fuse-utils does depend on it. So I assume this has to do
with the fact the aptitude by default chooses to not mark dependencies
when they are from etch-backports.

I would expect this command, where I explicitly specify the origins of the
packages, to have higher priority than the default apt configuration.

Peace!
