Setup 2.930: 'user_picked' flag not set for packages selected with -P option

Setup 2.930 does not set the 'user_picked' flag in
/etc/setup/installed.db if a package has been selected with the -P
option instead of the chooser dialog.
An installation could be replicated by extracting a list of
'user_picked' packages from installed.db and pass it via -P to setup.
But in this new installation, all non-Base packages will appear in
"Unneeded" view then.
I guess this is not a regression but longstanding behavior.
No patch provided for now as I don't know the best way to change this.
