The question is then why you mark it as automatically installed
(and therefore as "remove if no longer needed")
if you don't want it to be automatically removed…
But have a look at /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove to see how
e.g. the kernel package is protected from being autoremoved
even though they are autoinstalled (by a kernel metapackage).
