  If the -A flag is given, preserve automatic, otherwise clear it.  If
any dependencies are updated, preserve the automatic flag.  make
replace would have to learn to pass -A when updating dependencies.

  That way, automaticity is preserved for dependencies, and is cleared
for the package I actively update.  I think this is following the
principle of least surprise, given how pkg_add without -u works.

  Any objections?
