I don't think apt traces whether a packages was a pulled in manually
or automatically, does it? If so where does it store that information?
And if that information were from invokations of apt-get only
(e.g. stored under /var/*/apt) then it would miss yum, yumex,
PackageKit, smart etc. interactions.

But it would be a usefull feature for yum probably requiring an origin
field in the rpmdb to remember whether the user or the system pulled
in the package.
