Well, I can't see that this behaviour is by design, because it removed software that was _not_ selected for removal. I don't think it's a UI issue, because I've used Debian and Synaptic before, and Pirut is very similar in UI, but I wasn't sure if it was a one-off corruption, a known bug, or something specific to the way i did things.
