I guess that # apt-get install isc-dhcp-client may do the same
(provided that there's no newer version of the package in the
repositories.)
Also there's the APT::Get::AutomaticRemove option, which, if set
to false, I expect to prevent APT from removing the
automatically installed packages.
However, what I'm interested in right now, is how do I access
the list of autoinstalled packages with plain APT or dpkg(1)?
