Well, obviously I consider this behavior a bug. Trash is no place for
deleted packages. I mean, does apt-get remove use the Trash?!
Undoing package removal by simply restoring from Trash does not work
reliably anyway, so what's the point of this, despite cluttering the
user's trash can?
PS: Please excuse the duplicate mail. I had accidentally only mailed
you directly, and forgot to CC debbugs. Sorry for any inconvenience.
