Getting apt-get to explain things

[peter karlsson <pk@mds.mdh.se>]

How can I get apt-get to explain *why* it wants to remove a package?

I can't find any reasoning why it want to remove one of the packages I have
installed, especially since it is not in the main distribution, and does not
depend on any package from it. I would like apt-get to explain to me
somehow, how the package ended up on the remove list when doing a "apt-get
dist-upgrade".

I have read the reasoning why it usually does it, but in this case I can't
find any reason for it to remove the package.
