Thanks for your bugreport. The package manager (apt-get, aptitude, USC) is able to deal with the situation via the auto-installed information. This was pointed out by Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre already. But because of bug #424643 this auto-installed information is not properly written for the default install packages. The reason is that apt-get install tasks in the base install not meta-packages and in the task all libs are explicted listed (and not pulled in via dependencies).
