WARNING:
aptitude keeps track of which packages you requested explicitly, and
which were only installed to satisfy a dependency. Unfortunately, ir t
only knows you explicitly requested a package if you used aptitude to
request it. This means you may find it offering to delete important
packages if that would solve a conflict. If it does, it's a sign you
need to exokicitly request something using aptitude!
