Aptitude in Precise and later (and earlier) carries a patch that potentially nullifies this change. Previously the patch was redundant (see bug #1053776), now it will prevent this "fix" from being effective for users of aptitude.

The file 05aptitude configures an aptitude option that has similar effect to apt's never autoremove setting.
