I have a similar need to what Benjamin describes. Keep-Suggests is better than none, but it isn't quite what I need. I'm not really interested in keeping everything that is suggested. What I am interested in is keeping packages that I selected *because* they were suggested, as long as the suggestion is in force. The suggested "suggested automatic" state would help here. -- Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho, Jyväskylä http://antti-juhani.kaijanaho.fi/newblog/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/antti-juhani/
