If it does, apt-get has a bug. oem-config is intentionally installed, so
apt-get's "autoremove" should not work. The auto-remove switch of apt-get
should only apply to packages that were originally automatically installed
to satisfy dependencies. It has nothing to do with whether the oem-config
application is needed .

<off-topic rant>
This is actually yet another reason that apt-get is deprecated upstream in
favor of aptitude and why folks should not use apt-get. But I digress.

The above statement should read "So the system
_thinks_they_were_installed_as_dependencies_ . . . ."
