Installing LXDE marks 2 libraries as _manually installed_; why?
Hello. In Debian 8, after having installed a text-only system with the LXDE CD (8.2.0), and proceeding to install LXDE with aptitude, I noticed that "libpango1.0-0" and "libpangox-1.0-0" get marked as "Packages to be installed" instead of "Packages being automatically installed to satisfy dependencies". I tracked the dependency chain and found that "libvte9" is responsible for this. To test it, I actually installed "libvte9" with both aptitude and with apt-get; in both cases, the aforesaid 2 libraries get registered as "manually installed". I tested this within a virtual machine and started with a clean install of the text-only system both times. I think that these libraries should have been marked as "automatically installed" (like all other libraries that get installed as dependencies) since I didn't request them specifically. Why I am not getting the expected result? Is this a bug, that I should report?. Is it safe to mark them as automatically installed in my system? Regards and thanks in advance.
