 In apt, DoAutomaticRemove() is only called from DoInstall() (which is
 called for apt-get install, remove, purge, and autoremove); what we run
 for pbuilder updates is apt-get dist-upgrade, and it's the only time
 where we set APT::Get::AutomaticRemove=true.  dist-upgrade calls
 DoDistUpgrade().

 I've filed a bug against apt to request APT::Get::AutomaticRemove=true
 to work in dist-upgrade.
