"I think there are reasons for the way it is set up, so that it doesn't accidentally remove things you want. I think that would be worse."
Indeed; but if its made an additional option, e.g. the "Mark for autoremoval" or such, and it behaves just like apt-get autoremove except in a GUI-way, it will explicitly ask before marking the other packages too. And then you also have to go through the confirmation step in Synaptic, so I think the chances of accidentally deleting important packages are low.
I will edit the description in a moment; thanks for considering this as a wishlist item :)
