     I guess this distinction between manually-installed and 
automatically-installed is necessary for apt-get --auto-remove to work

     This information is available to Synaptic as well. I have been 
using synaptic alternatively with apt-get as from when it was available, 
because I was never able to make sense of aptitude.
