   I finally took some time to try and reproduce the described bug, but got   
   no success with that. Here is how it happened for me:   
   1. I create a bookworm chroot with network-manager-gnome installed in it.   
   2. I check that network-manager-gnome is marked as manually installed.   
   3. I update the sources, and upgrade the systen to Trixie. As expected,   
      network-manager-applet is pulled as a dependency.   
   4. I check that network-manager-gnome is a candidate for removal.   
      
   And at step 4. is where I get a difference: while network-manager-gnome   
   is indeed a candidate for removal, network-manager-applet on the other   
   hand is not. So this package inherited the "manually installed" status   
   from its parent package.   
      
   The end result is that the obsolete package is removed, and the new   
   package replacing it is kept. Exactly what we want.   
      
   Finding configuration differences between the system where this bug has   
   been noticed and the chroot I used to try (and fail) to reproduce it   
   might tell use what trigger the unwanted autoremoval.   
      
   If it can help, here is how I generated the chroot used to run my tests:   
   mmdebstrap --aptopt='Acquire::http::Proxy "http://apt.vv221.fr:3142"'   
   --include=network-manager-gnome bookworm /tmp/test-chroot http:/   
   mirror.gitoyen.net/debian   
   Removing options that are specific to my system, that would become:   
   mmdebstrap --include=network-manager-gnome bookworm /tmp/test-chroot   
      
   The only commands run in that chroot are:   
   apt-mark showmanual network-manager-gnome   
   sed -i 's/bookworm/trixie/g' /etc/apt/sources.list   
   apt-get update   
   apt-get full-upgrade   
   apt-get autoremove   
   apt-mark showmanual network-manager-applet
