I suppose it means that the package was installed as a dependency of 
another package. It would have been possible to remove that package with 
"apt-get autoremove" if there are no dependencies left, but now it is 
set to manually installed and will not be removed with "apt-get 
autoremove".

To me it is even more annoying if people send me a copy of their list 
mail.
