Maybe there is a configuration setting that tells aptitude not to remove
unused packages automatically. (This is configurable and I am not sure
what the default setting is.)
The easiest way to check this is probably to start aptitude in
interactive mode, press CTRL + T to activate the menu, go to "Options",
"Dependency handling" and verify that the item "Remove unused packages
automatically" is selected.
