Emacs considers a package to be explicitly installed if (and only if, I
think) it's listed in 'package-selected-packages'. Make sure the value
of this variable is what you expect. If it's not, make sure your
configuration is loading variables that were set by the Customize
interface; when installing packages interactively,
'package-selected-packages' is set via the Customize code.

'package-autoremove' will remove a package if a) it's not in
'package-selected-packages' and b) nothing else in
'package-selected-packages' depends on it.
