            that were set before the transaction was started.

                  and other values will result in an error.
                  Background tasks are normally treated with a low priority than
                  regular tasks, and normally only use idle CPU and network.

                  If the method can ask interactive questions whilst running,
                  valid values are <doc:tt>true</doc:tt> and <doc:tt>false</doc:tt>,

                  This allows the frontend to set how fresh it needs the
                  metadata used in the transaction.
                  This allows fine control of the age of the returned results,
                  but means the frontend probably has to query the updates
                  check value and pass it this value for <doc:tt>GetUpdates</doc:tt>,
                  and choose something sane otherwise.
                  Most interactive clients will set this to <doc:tt>intmax</doc:tt>doc:tt>
                  which means "never download new metadata, unless required to return results".
                  Most transactions will not have this value set.

              Other values will cause a verbose warning in the daemon, but will
              not cause the method to fail. This will preserve forward and
              backwards compatibility for future API versions.

              This option is only really interesting on embedded devices with a limited amount of
              flash storage.
              It suggests to the packagekit backend that dependencies installed at the same time as
              the package should also be removed if they are not required by anything else.
              For instance, if you install OpenOffice, it might download libneon as a dependency.
              When <doc:tt>auto_remove</doc:tt> is set to true, and you remove OpenOffice then
              libneon will also get removed automatically.
