Package: apt
Version: 0.8.8
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
Bug 598452 fixes a problem like mine, but with that present, apt is trying to
remove grub-pc and others that I'm sure I need.
I've marked ones I think I still need with a '*' prefix in the apt-get autoremove
output below. I don't know which others I might really need from this list.

APT may be a super cow, but it's not a mentalist? If you want to keep a
package, don't except APT to read your mind, but tell APT what you need
using apt-get unmarkauto.
