after-install troubles with package dependencies



Hi folks,

Everytime I install Debain on a PC I have to enter aptitude to mark
_many_ packages as automatically installed. If I don't, then they
are kept forever, even if dependencies change.

This was surely not the idea of handling package dependencies. Do you
think it would be possible that d-i adds the missing "automatically-
installed" flag to the database? Maybe it could install just a set of
basic packages, and rely upon apt-get to add all the missing libraries
and perl modules?


Regards

Harri
