Sometimes packages need to be marked manual rather than auto to
ensure they are not auto-removed. For example, you need to perform
`apt-mark manual cryptsetup-initramfs` to ensure initramfs can mount
an encrypted root. See <https://wiki.debian.org/DebianUpgrade>.
I'm not saying that's happening here. I'm only saying that it happens
on occasion.
