Allow aptitude to MarkInstall broken packages via FromUser
apt marks packages coming from the commandline among others as protected to ensure the various resolver parts do not fiddle with the state of these packages. aptitude (and potentially others) do not so the state is modified (to a Keep which for uninstalled means it is not going to be installed) due to being uninstallable before the call fails – basically reverting at least some state changes the call made before it realized it has to fail, which is usually a good idea, except if users expect you to not do it. They do set the FromUser option though which has beside controlling autobit also gained the notion of "the user is always right" over time and can be used for this one here as well preventing the state revert.
