Huh? Don't fix things that aren't broken. For example, I don't care about
cpio, though I have that package installed because dpkg-dev depends on it.
Should I remove dpkg-dev one day, then I'd want cpio to leave, too. That's
why cpio has the auto flag on my system. It's simple, straightforward. We
don't need to discriminate against lib* packages.
