Well like
$ man aptitude
forbid-version
...
To revert the action, “aptitude install <package>” will
remove the ban...
Also if the user really wants to keep the auto flag, then there seems to
also be these he can use:
install...
<package>+
Install <package>.
If the package was not installed, it is marked as manually
installed, and the dependencies newly
installed are marked with the automatic flag. If the package or
the dependencies were already
installed, the automatic flag is preserved. See the section
about automatic installations in the
documentation for more information.
<package>+M
Install <package> and immediately mark it as automatically
installed (note that if nothing depends
on <package>, this will cause it to be immediately removed).
