Hi Julian,

I was looking into this and fixed missing cases, so for example now it
says:

  aptitude-dbgsym will be automatically removed because of dependency errors:
  
    * aptitude-dbgsym (remove, 0.7.7-1) depends on aptitude (= 0.7.7-1)

"aptitude" marked with red background, as it's the case when packages
are broken.


Cheers.
