AFAIS does APT provide no official way to keep packages when they have
been recognized as no longer needed and autoremovable. You can always do
an "apt-get install --reinstall $package" but I think something like
"apt-get keep $package" would be more intuitive.

I’m curious how Synaptic handles this since it offers a simple checkbox for
this without needing to reinstall the packages in question.

If no one else minds, yes.
