Automatically-installed packages are being marked as manually installed

Asked by Shahar Or

Hi and thank you for the remarkable Aptitude.

I'm on the development version of Ubuntu and upgrade packages daily using aptitude.

Upon reviewing daily upgrades, I consistently discover that many packages which I am sure to have previously marked as automatically-installed, are now marked as manually installed.

What could be the cause of this, please?

If you have a bug reported you don't need a question as well, let alone two...

the resolver can interfere with the markings

Can you help with this problem?
