The man page could note that not using:
           <package>&M
               Mark <package> as having been automatically installed.

           <package>&m
               Mark <package> as having been manually installed.
means don't change current mark.

In particular
# aptitude install somepak
will not unmark somepak as automatically installed, if that's what it
currently is marked as.

On the other hand,
# aptitude install somepak
not mark somepak as automatically installed, if it is not already installed.
