Sometimes packages need to be marked manual rather than auto to ensure they are not auto-removed. For example, you need to perform `apt-mark manual cryptsetup-initramfs` to ensure initramfs can mount an encrypted root. See <https://wiki.debian.org/DebianUpgrade>. I'm not saying that's happening here. I'm only saying that it happens on occasion. Jeff
