Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11.2-1
Severity: normal

Some time ago, python-elementtree was pulled in as a recommendation of
translate-toolkit.  The situation is as this:

,----
| $ aptitude show python-elementtree | grep ^Auto
| Automatically installed: yes
| $ aptitude why python-elementtree
| i   translate-toolkit Recommends python (>= 2.5) | python-elementtree
`----

By the time I first installed translate-toolkit, python was at 2.4, so
the "Recommends" could only be fulfilled by python-elementtree.
Meanwhile python got upgraded to 2.5, making python-elementtree
redundant; but aptitude does not seem to detect this.  I should note
that

a) translate-toolkit is the only installed package depending on or
   recommending python-elementtree;

b) python was not marked as automatically installed, but changing that
   does not seem to have an effect.
