 status on upgrade.

Another thing which seems to reliably lose state:
- setup apt-listchanges to show changelogs and prompt for confirmation
- start an upgrade which would remove some now unused packages
- answer 'n' to the apt-listchanges prompt

The packages that would have been removed have now lost automatic
status, and will not be removed if you restart the upgrade.
