Public bug reported:

I observed on my trusty box that aptitude keeps libqt4-dev even though
it is marked as automatically installed and no other package depends on
or recommends it.

$ sudo aptitude show libqt4-dev|grep Auto
Automatically installed: yes
$ aptitude why libqt4-dev
i   postbooks-updater Depends  libqt4-sql-psql
i A libqt4-sql-psql   Suggests libqt4-dev 

In other words, there is no package on the system that at least depends
on or recommends libqt4-dev to be installed.  Since the package is
marked as automatically installed aptitude should offer to remove it
which for some unknown reason does not happen
