  It certainly hasn't been fixed, and I'm not sure it will be: it's easy
and safe enough to cancel auto-installations now that I think this shouldn't
be a problem.

  Are you using an old version of aptitude? I'm not sure when I fixed it,
but in some previous versions package states wouldn't change to reflect
your new options until you manually installed or removed a package.
