Synaptic already has a report filed about the limitations of the
particular interface.  This report is more than that, concerning how
update-manager uses synaptic.  As stated in a previous comment, it is
possible to fix this with small modifications to update-manager.

Title:
  sometimes sets dependency packages to manual install

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  Sometimes update-manager will set packages that are really automatic
  installs to manual install. This happens e.g. when a new dependency
  gets added. Because update-manager will run synaptic in non-
  interactive mode the information that this dependency got auto-
  installed is lost. This needs to be fixed.

  Check the other stuff that uses synaptic as its backend too (language-
  selector, gnome-app-install).
