IIRC all packages installed outside of aptitude are flagged as "manually
installed". aptitude isn't confused but it won't remove them automagically
if they are no longer needed. Another solution, within aptitude, is to mark
the really important packages as "manually installed" ('m' and 'M'
shortcuts). You can mark a bunch of packages at once by applying the
shortcut to the  upper folder.
