[Bug 932140] [NEW] Installed dependencies are not marked as automatically installed

[Alk]

Public bug reported:

When installing packages in Muon dependent packages are not marked as
automatically installed. Which causes unused packages to float around
when the original package is removed.

Example: smplayer is dependent on mplayer. Installing and removing
smplayer in Muon will leave mplayer on the system even if it will never
be used.

$ aptitude show mplayer
Package: mplayer                         
New: yes
State: installed
Automatically installed: no

If the installed dependencies were marked automatically installed,
selecting "Remove Unnecessary Packages" in the menu will remove the
unused packages. I would also be great if "Remove Unnecessary Packages"
would be run every time a package is removed to ensure a clean system.
