Please, move this bug from "synaptic" to Ubuntu installator, because it is NOT Synaptic bug and so it can't be fixed by Synaptic developers.
See Michael Vogt's comment on this (emailed to me):
This is a new state that shows what is considered manual
installed. Its a bit confusing because during the install of ubuntu
the installer installed stuff as "manual". This is the opposite of
"automatic" where e.g. openoffice.org pulls in a bunch of libraries.
If the two sets are exactly the same, then there is a bug somewhere
(probably in the install, not in synaptic) because libraries should be
marked as automatic.
