Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-app-install
I am using Ubuntu Feisty. If you install i.e. kvpnc with g-a-i it installs a bunch of dependencies among other things kdelibs4c2a, menu, kdelibs-data, libarts1c2a and so on. If you remove kvpnc after that only the dependencies kdelibs4c2a and menu are removed. The other ones are easily removable with apt-get autoremove but not automatically. If you check the dependencies of kvpnc you will find only kdelibs4c2a and menu but no other dependencies which were installed for kvpnc so the other ones seems to be indirect dependencies. These indirect dependencies seem to be ignored on removal with g-a-i.
It is possible that I already had some kde-deps so maybe on a fresh ubuntu installation there are more direct ones but this should have nothing to do with the problem.

I can confirm this with azureus, for example.
