Title:
  pressing "+" on updatable packages clears "automatically installed"
  mark

Status in “aptitude” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: aptitude

  In natty's aptitude 0.6.3-3.2ubuntu1, if there are available updates
  in the package list, I can highlight them and press "+" to update the
  package(s). However, this clears all "A" marks ("automatically
  installed") and I have to re-mark them manually each using "M".

  Maverick's aptitude 0.6.3-2ubuntu4 behaves as expected: Scheduling one
  or more package(s) for updating using "+" doesn't touch the "M" mark.
