For the record: Packages listed in this file are marked as auto-installed (Auto-Installed: 1). Packages not listed or with Auto-Installed: 0 are marked as manual. So what you say here is that packages are randomly marked as automatic, not as manual. That is a big difference. (Packages which were auto and are later marked as manual will disappear from this file as it is the default.) General hint: You can find backups of the extended_state file in /var/backup. A deep look into /var/log/apt/history.log should tell you what you have run. Daniel, maybe it has something to do with apt/apt-pkg/depcache.cc 1034ff. I will have a look if this happens with apt, too, but I haven't seen it so far, so this would be my best guess, if it is not buried inside aptitude.
