Bug description:
  Using gnome software (or another PackageKit or aptdaemon based UI) to
  install an application - removal of that package leaves behind
  dependencies

  Installing an application with ubuntu software centre only leaves
  behind config files (seen in synaptic labelled for complete removal).

  After installing and then removing alarm clock with USC -

  sudo apt-get autoremove
  [sudo] password for wolf:
  Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree
  Reading state information... Done
  0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 1 not to upgrade.

  After cleaning up and then reinstalling with gnome software, followed
  by the removal

  sudo apt-get autoremove
  Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree
  Reading state information... Done
  The following packages will be REMOVED
    libappindicator1 libindicator7
  0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 2 to remove and 1 not to upgrade.
  After this operation, 184 kB disk space will be freed.
