Maybe something like this will work:
aptitude --schedule-only markauto ~i && aptitude --schedule-only unmarkauto $list && aptitude install
Or this:
aptitude -o Aptitude::Keep-Unused-Pattern="~i" markauto ~i && aptitude unmarkauto $list
Or this:
aptitude -o Aptitude::Delete-Unused=false markauto ~i && aptitude unmarkauto $list
(I did not actually try any of these myself; YMMV.)
