That doesn't explain why sometimes it autoremoves on "apt-get install"
and other times it doesn't.

I found the following on askubuntu that might shed some light:

This suggests that the servers have different configurations, which
would be a reasonable assumption if they aren't all the same version,
since evidently there have been some policy changes over time:
