Hmm, is there also a typo here - what does
    aptitude search 'i~M'
actually do? A quick reading of the documentation in
/usr/share/doc/aptitude/html/en/ch02s03.html in the etch version of
aptitude (0.4.4-4) seems to imply that the command searches for
packages with an "i" in the package name and that are auto-installed.

I get a larger list of auto-installed packages using either
    aptitude search '~i~M'
or
    aptitude search '~M'
(both give the same list of packages on my system, though I don't know
if the two are always the same).

For instance, the package "xfonts-base" (which I have auto-installed)
is not listed with 'i~M' but is listed with the other two commands.

My guess is that '~i~M' was actually meant.

(The version of the release notes that I was reading is for i386,
English, and has the date 2009-02-14 at the start.)
