apt wants to remove packages installed with dpkg -i



When I install a package with dpkg -i (say one I made myself with
dh_make, or one from make-kpkg), the next time I run aptitude,
it is selected for automatic removal.

I highlight it, hit "i", and from then on it stays on my system.

I like how apt aggressively removes packages with no dependencies,
but in this case it's not what I desire.  Is there something I can do
during "dpkg -i" to make the package "stick around" ?
