OK.

The first benefit you'll get is packages being marked as automatic (if
you install A which depends on libobscure0 and you don't particularly
care about libobscure0 itself, then aptitude will mark libobscure0 as
automatic, which has the nice consequence that when you remove A and any
other packages that depend on libobscure0, it will automatically remove
libobscure0 so that you don't waste space for a package you don't care
about).

This functionality is being merged into libapt, so it will probably
eventually be available in apt-get, dselect and synaptic, but at the
moment, it is only offered by aptitude.
