,----[  man 8 apt-mark  ]--------

       When you request that a package is installed, and as a result
       other packages are installed to satisfy its dependencies, the
       dependencies are marked as being automatically installed.
`---------------------------------------------

In the case above all packages are not marked as "auto" which means your apt
thinks all packages are manually installed.
In lenny even apt learned how to remove not needed dependies like aptitude
which is broken with the setup above.
