Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: apt
Reference Debian bug report #448743. I just submitted a patch for fixing
this behaviour there.
When installing a package's build-dependancies, they are all marked
manually-installed. This creates a situation where they must all be
manually removed afterwards. (usually uninstalling libc6-dev takes care
of a large portion)

This patch sets the status of the installed build-dependancies to Auto, so that
they are available for removal with apt-get autoremove.
