Nope :(
As a test I did this:
1. Find package that's marked auto and kept installed by some other
package (I picked vim-gnome, it's kept installed by another vim
package).
2. Switch to flat view.
3. Limit the view using your expression above.
If it all works then the package I marked should show up, after all it's
not marked auto and another installed package keeps it installed
(through a recommends). No luck though, vim-gnome doesn't show up :(
