Thanks for your bugreport.

Currently there is a tool called "apt-mark" that can be used to mark packages as explicitely installed. There is also support in synaptic (use Package/Automatically installed.

I think that "apt-get install $pkg" should clear the auto-flag if the package is already installed. This seems to be the most intuitive way.

Cheers,
