Since I installed Ubuntu regulary and just removed the programms f-spot, vinagre and rhythmbox I thought that synaptic would recognize things like acpid, adduser, etc as installed, but not as "installed (manually)". At least in last ubuntu versions it worked like that, and i could remove savely all applications marked as "installed (manually)", since no system relevant apps where marked as those. Now, the "installed" applications list does not differ from the "installed (manually)" list.

the problem is here that synaptic automatically installs ALL (also the dependencies of a selected package) packages as being "manually installed" also noticed that in 10.10 the list "can be removed automatically" has been removed (witch makes it even harder to clean up your system for unneeded dependencies)
