Hi,

you're right.

[weremouse at moonstudio ~]$ apt-mark showmanual|grep linux 
console-setup-linux
libselinux1
linux-headers-lowlatency
linux-image-lowlatency
linux-libc-dev
linux-lowlatency
util-linux

I'll stay with this, but maybe for testing purpose I'll run

  # apt-mark auto linux-lowlatency

or do I need to run

  # apt-mark auto linux-lowlatency linux-headers-lowlatency\
    linux-image-lowlatency

?

Regards,
Ralf
