Hhi,

that's not even the point: The bug is that installing a another package 
should not override the manual mark of a previously installed with auto...

I haven't checked if one can mark it as essential first, but that 
shouldn't be necessary. Anyhow, if you're still insisting that this is 
expected behaviour then it certainly is. But the specification should be 
considered questionable or counterintuitive at best...


Cheers,

Christian
