Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: wishlist APT has a feature to mark dependencies from meta packages as not automatically installed if the package belongs to a section called 'metapackages'.
It would be great if we could add such a section and move meta packages such as 'gnome' to it; to allow users to uninstall a single application without removing their whole desktop in autoremove; just because the top meta package was removed. It also allows us to put transitional packages there; in order to have their replacement packages not being marked as automatically installed.
