I was going to say that I believe if you issue the apt command to install
the packages a second time (after they've been installed) they will be
marked as "manual" and should not ever be flagged by autoremove again,

HOWEVER I did a search on statuses and discovered you can use the explicit
command apt-mark to set them

$ apt-mark manual [packagename(s)]

You can get a list of packages that have already been marked "manual"

$ apt-mark showmanual

Maybe (assuming the status works as advertised) that will reduce your fear
of autoremove in the future.
