Title:
  [gutsy] aptitude shows opposite value for "Automatically installed"
  field

Status in aptitude package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: aptitude

  In the output of 'aptitude show', the field "Automatically installed"
  seems to display exactly the opposite of the real value, while search
  -F '%p# %M' seems correct:

  dbonniot ~ sudo aptitude markauto firefox
  [...]

  dbonniot ~ sudo aptitude show firefox|grep Auto
  Automatically installed: no

  dbonniot ~ sudo aptitude search -F '%p# %M' 'firefox$'
  firefox                                                                        A

  dbonniot ~ sudo aptitude unmarkauto firefox    
  [...]

  dbonniot ~ sudo aptitude show firefox|grep Auto       
  Automatically installed: yes

  dbonniot ~ sudo aptitude search -F '%p# %M' 'firefox$'
  firefox
