 I finally took some time to try and reproduce the described bug, but got 
 no success with that. Here is how it happened for me: 
 1. I create a bookworm chroot with network-manager-gnome installed in it. 
 2. I check that network-manager-gnome is marked as manually installed. 
 3. I update the sources, and upgrade the systen to Trixie. As expected, 
    network-manager-applet is pulled as a dependency. 
 4. I check that network-manager-gnome is a candidate for removal. 
  
 And at step 4. is where I get a difference: while network-manager-gnome 
 is indeed a candidate for removal, network-manager-applet on the other 
 hand is not. So this package inherited the "manually installed" status 
 from its parent package. 
  
 The end result is that the obsolete package is removed, and the new 
 package replacing it is kept. Exactly what we want. 
  
 Finding configuration differences between the system where this bug has 
 been noticed and the chroot I used to try (and fail) to reproduce it 
 might tell use what trigger the unwanted autoremoval. 
  
 If it can help, here is how I generated the chroot used to run my tests: 
 mmdebstrap --aptopt='Acquire::http::Proxy "http://apt.vv221.fr:3142"' 
 --include=network-manager-gnome bookworm /tmp/test-chroot http:/ 
 mirror.gitoyen.net/debian 
 Removing options that are specific to my system, that would become: 
 mmdebstrap --include=network-manager-gnome bookworm /tmp/test-chroot 
  
 The only commands run in that chroot are: 
 apt-mark showmanual network-manager-gnome 
 sed -i 's/bookworm/trixie/g' /etc/apt/sources.list 
 apt-get update 
 apt-get full-upgrade 
 apt-get autoremove 
 apt-mark showmanual network-manager-applet
