Public bug reported:

Synaptic 0.57.8, Ubuntu 6.10

1. Mark Ubuntu's "lintian" package for installation.
2. Observe the "Mark additional required changes?" alert.
3. Unmark the lintian package.
4. Observe the "Mark additional required changes?" alert.

What happens: The two alerts appear exactly the same.

What should happen: Since the two alerts have exactly opposite purposes,
they should be different. In particular, "To be installed" should change
to "No longer to be installed".

** Affects: synaptic (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed

** Description changed:
