Bug Description
I just installed galeon and galeon-common. Then I marked both as automatically installed. But for some reason, aptitude refuses to automatically remove them. Only If I remove mozilla-acroread, galeon is also removed. But mozilla-acroread was installed before galeon, so there can't be a real dependency.

This works exactly as expected. mozilla-acroread depends on mozilla-browser. One way to satisfy this is via galeon and you seem to have another mozilla-browser installed as well. But aptitude has no automatic way of knowing which one it could deinstall, thus it keeps both.
