Aha, I just noticed that cruft remover suggests to remove a package if you downloaded it from an archive and then remove that later from your sources, eg:

1) add the deluge ppa to your sources
2) install deluge-torrent (then deluge-torrent is not considered cruft at that point)
3) now remove the deluge ppa from your sources, maybe because you don't want to check for new updates at this point because of a slow internet connection (then deluge-torrent is considered cruft)

I find this behavior unintuitive, even though I don't know what the "right" behavior would be. I guess that depends on how you implement this "whitelist" feature.
