Comment 11 for bug 1175637

08:33 < slangasek> bdmurray: so I think it's probably a
                   straightforward matter of
                   unattended-upgrades not calling the
                   right api to mark packages as auto
                   when pulling them in as new deps
08:33 < slangasek> not that I know what that api
                   actually is
08:35 < bdmurray> slangasek: okay
08:35 < cjwatson> mark_install(from_user=False) I think?
                  But check ...
08:36 < slangasek> ah, there's a single call to
                   mark_install() in u-a, so that would
                   be nice and convenient if so
08:36 < slangasek> bdmurray: is that enough to be going
                   on with?
