Thanks for your bugreport.
Currently there is a tool called "apt-mark" that can be used to mark
packages as explicitely installed. There is also support in synaptic
(use Package/Automatically installed.
I think that "apt-get install $pkg" should clear the auto-flag if the
package is already installed. This seems to be the most intuitive way.
Cheers,
Michael
