You have shown that they are not removed in LTS, which I have just discovered, 
and that they are not removed on upgrade to the next version.  But, surely, 
normally when a newer version is installed automatically by aptitude, the 
older one is removed, unless you have been using aptitude safe-upgrade, when 
nothing is removed?  (Or, of course, unless you have got it pinned?)
