[Bug 581802] [NEW] transitional package CAN'T be removed safely

[Teteph]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: autofs

autofs is still in lucid as a transitional package to autofs5.
Unfortunately, despite the 'apt-cache show' comment (Once this package
and its dependencies are installed you can safely remove it.), if you
remove it, you just loose autofs5 at the same time (at next upgrade
through aptitude for example) ! Maybe because there's no
Provides/Conflicts fields in the package description ?
