When marking a package to isntall, it does not also mark the dependencies for
installation. I've got pinning for wheezy so that I could upgrade my kernel
since I needed the hardware drivers. Additional information is below. This has
just started happening recently, I have no idea why this is happening, but apt,
and aptitude both still mark dependencies for installation properly.
