Bug#65262: apt is being too smart about dependencies

[Brian White <bcwhite@precidia.com>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.3.18

If a package is installed that has unmet dependencies, apt-get will mark
it for removal even though I told dselect to ignore that problem.

I have, for example, ssh2 installed but not xlib (which is only needed
for the askpass program).  I installed it with "dpkg --force-depends" and
it works fine; I don't want apt to remove it.
