Ping! This is still the case.
I just wanted to explain a coworker that "apt-get autoremove" doesn't
take any parameter, but it indeed does. And until I found this bug
report it was not clear to me what "apt-get automremove <package>"
really does.
So please document optional parameters for "apt-get automremove" (and
"apt autoremove").
Regards, Axel
