One thing to note: Aptitude works differently than apt-get when it comes to these packages. If you use apt-get, they're kept unless you use apt-get autoremove. If you use Aptitude, however, automatically installed packages also get removed automatically.

Also of note: merely being recommended by another installed package is sufficient to prevent it from getting removed either by apt-get autoremove or Aptitude's automatic cleanup.
