Bug#69354: apt-get removes packages without a reason

[Max.Neunhoeffer@Math.RWTH-Aachen.De]

Package: apt
Version: 0.3.19

During the update slink->potato apt-get (with method dist-upgrade)
the package libcompface1 (libc5 compatibility-version) was removed
automatically.

This made some locally installed programs outside the distribution
unusable.

We consider this a bug.

Libraries should never be removed without a reason during an upgrade,
because it is possible that they are used by other, locally installed
programs.
