Bug Description
Binary package hint: synaptic
"Edit / Mark Packages by Task" does not allow the user to uninstall the exact set of packages they installed; after unticking a checkbox, the "OK" button is grayed out. The user expects to be able to uninstall the set of packages they installed in the same way, but this doesn't work; if they do not know what packages are installed, the user is unable to roll back the installation.

Perhaps we could solve this with some magic and the auto removal function.
The packages installed by selecting a task could be marked as automatically installed. If the task gets deselected all packages that are not part of any other active task or have been manually installed should be removed.
