apt-get's autoremove sucks, sorry.  It wants to autoremove like half my
system right now, and there's no way to tell it, "No, I _WANT_ to keep
these packages!"  Aptitude, however, is being very nice about it and not
mentioning any packages right now.  In fact, aptitude can actually
autoremove old kernel images so my 54 MiB /boot partition doesn't max
out with only 3 kernels every time.

Aptitude also has better dependency handling and can recover from errors
when packages fail to install/configure (without leaving your system
hosed).

I suggest that this bug be expanded to Ubuntu in general.  Debian 4.0
(and probably 3.1) recommends usage of aptitude over apt-get in most
situations (especially when it comes to dependencies).
