Package: di-utils
Severity: wishlist
File: /bin/apt-install

It would be a good idea to prevent autoremoval of packages installed by
the installer since users might mark all packages as automatically
installed, autoremove stuff and have their power button not work due to
acpi-support-base being removed for example. It should be enough for
apt-install to record all packages it installs and then have
finish-install turn that into an apt configuration generator for the
APT::NeverAutoRemove configuration item in apt.

Yeah, I'm not sure this is a good idea, closing accordingly.
