Why apt-get sets such packages as manually installed?



Hi,

When you don't know that you already have a given package, and that you
want to install it, apt-get tells you that you already have it, and sets
it to `manually installed.' Why does it set it to `manually installed'
like this? What's the interest? Most of the time, I don't know that I
have a given package, and copy/paste a long list of packages that is
needed for building something.

Thanks.
