i found out, that auto-delete does not to work for packages, that have 
dependencies to other packages and are listed in the "Prq:"-section 
("required") of a pattern file. After putting these packages into the 
"Prc:"-section ("recommended", all works fine.

In the original "print_server" pattern, all packages are in the 
"Prc:"-section, except the "cups"-package, which remains; And cups 
requires "foomatic-filter"...

Maybe this will help anybody else, struggling with the same problem.

Oliver
