I hardly find that expected behaviour, unless there is some dark and evil feature which wants to install as much on users systems as possible - and looks more like the microsoft way to me. This is even more bothersome because I don't *want* any packages removed - if there's a way for apt to do what I've asked without removing stuff than that is what it should do.
