This is an awkward corner-case. I wonder, can you identify the affected
packages using an aptitude query, or similar? If so, then it might be 
possible to write a script to perform the apt-mark based on the output,
and put it in a hook to be executed after apt or dpkg runs. (I forget
which of apt or dpkg offers the facility to run hooks, I think it's
dpkg, but the machine upon which I do this is currently powered off
so I can't check.)

That's a little bit like reading the thread you're replying to properly
to see if you have something to add, before hitting 'Send'.
