    You can then either ‘install’ them with apt, which does essentially only mark installed packags as manually installed or use e.g. synaptic for that.

      Yeah but you’d need to do it for *everything* that’s affected, which is a lot.

        Not every package, but some of them. The remaining are dependencies. Essentially, one can (iteratively) copy paste the output list of apt autoremove into apt install until apt autoremove doesn’t want to uninstall packages one intends to keep.
