Bug#161677: apt-get remove want to remove some further important packages

[Ruediger Noack <ernohl@yahoo.de>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4

I want to remove exim, but this procedure want to remove some other 
important packages like at, samba, ...

flinker:~# apt-get --purge remove exim
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
 at* diffmon* exim* linuxconf* logrotate* mailx* mutt* samba*
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 8 to remove and 5  not upgraded.
Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 25.9MB will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n
Abort.

The other packages aren't marked for removing. Example:

ii  at             3.1.8-11       Delayed job execution and batch processing

I don't understand why want removal of exim also want to remove some 
other packages. Only a mistake?

Sorry if if don't post some importand info. This is my first bug report.
I use a woody only system.

Ruediger
