Increase debug verbosity in `apt-get autoremove`
When running with Debug::pkgAutoRemove=yes, explain why certain packages are being marked, either because they're marked essential/important or because they match the blacklist from APT::NeverAutoRemove. This should help troubleshoot cases where autoremove is not proposing removal of packages expected to be up for removal. Tested manually with `apt-get autoremove -o Debug::pkgAutoRemove=yes`.
