Subject: How to remove deb-multimedia-keyring package from apt-get autoremove list.
Hi,

I finally found how to fix that by reading the apt source code.

When the deb-multimedia-keyring package is displayed in the autoremove
apt-get list this is because this package has been installed
automatically by the debian-multimedia-keyring package

,----
| The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
| deb-multimedia-keyring libmyth-0.26-0

`----

To fix that simply purge and then install again the
deb-multimedia-keyring package.

,----
| apt-get purge deb-multimedia-keyring
| apt-get install deb-multimedia-keyring

`----
