Bug#528011: Please allow APT::Get::AutomaticRemove=true during dist-upgrades

[Loïc Minier <lool@dooz.org>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.7.21
Severity: wishlist

        Hi

 In pbuilder, we attempted to drop unused packages automatically via:
    -o "APT::Get::AutomaticRemove=true"
 which we added to the apt-get dist-upgrade call; this doesn't work
 because in apt, DoAutomaticRemove() is only called from DoInstall()
 (which is called for apt-get install, remove, purge, and autoremove).
 dist-upgrade calls DoDistUpgrade().

 Could you please call DoAutomaticRemove() from DoDistUpgrade()?

    Thanks,
