Bug Description
In Ubuntu 8.10, if I use aptitude to install "epiphany-webkit", then use aptitude to remove "epiphany-webkit", its dependency packages, like epiphany-
Steps to reproduce
1. sudo aptitude
2. select epiphany-webkit
3. install
4. sudo aptitude
5. deselect epiphany-webkit
6. deselect epiphany-browser
7. error: dependency packages are not automatically removed
Automatic dependency handling is the sole reason anyone would use aptitude in Ubuntu.

Same bug in gcc-3.4. Install gcc-3.4, remove it and dependencies are not removed.
