I think I know how to reproduce:
- install minimal Debian unstable (a container or chroot should do)
- boot it or chroot to it
- configure networking
- enter aptitude and install a package with a huge list of
dependencies (e.g. owncloud)
- leave aptitude
- enter aptitude
- mark "owncloud" to be removed (using "_")
- hit "g" once to get the list of packages to be removed
- mark "php5" to be kept (using "+")
- press q
Now the dependencies of php5 should have lost their "automatically
installed" flag.
There have been some changes in the last few versions, specially the
last one, related with how packages marked to install/keep are handled
that might have affected this.
With 0.7.6, after following the steps above and pressing '+', this is
the state:
--\ Packages to be removed (1)
ip owncloud -28.2 MB 7.0.12~dfsg-2 7.0.12~dfsg-2

The only one causing losing 'A' now is "php5", obviously, since this is
the one marked to install/keep with '+'.
If I understand correctly, the behaviour that you were/are getting is
packages such as php5-cli and -common to be "i " instead of "i A"?
Cheers.
