Can not remove automatically installed packages

[DimanNe]

It seems that purge does not work also:

$ sudo aptitude purge alacarte                                                   
The following packages will be REMOVED:                                                                                 
  alacarte{p}                                                                                                           
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.                                                 
Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 1,162 kB will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?] 

But automatically installed account-plugin-facebook really "Automatically installed":

$ aptitude show account-plugin-facebook
Package: account-plugin-facebook         
State: installed
Automatically installed: yes
