apt does track manually installed packages since quite some time (end
lets you cleanup unused, automatically pulled in packages with apt-get
autoremove).
For debian-live aptitude can cope with (ignore) packages that are on
your install list but not installable. This is not good for testing
that your lists are correct
jup.
but it helps when the lists included with debian-live are wrong.
which in theory should never happen and if so, reported and it will
fixed right away.
