The problem are the metapackage dependecies: If you have installed TDE using the "root" meta package, removal of any package in the TDE package tree will trigger the removal of all patent packages which resolves in the removal of all TDE packages. You'll have to mark all meta packages as "manual" and also all packages that were pulled in from the parent meta package of the package you want to remove. It would help if all meta packages were marked as such, but ... well ... time is short.
