Lazarus weird after update

Updated Lazarus though synaptic from v 3.0 to v 3.6. Said it was upgrading. When it was done I removed Lazarus 3.0(usually done automatically, but I had to do it manually).
Lazarus 3.6 is working perfectly.

The problem is I keep getting nagged to remove Lazarus:

apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  lazarus-ide lazarus-ide-3.6 lazarus-ide-gtk2-3.6 lazarus-src-3.6 lcl-3.6
  lcl-gtk2-3.6 lcl-nogui-3.6 lcl-units-3.6 lcl-utils-3.6
Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

"no longer required"? What's this , AI deciding what I do or don't require? LOL
Seriously, how do I get rid of that message? I've tried uninstalling and re-installing, message is the same.
PS I don't want to lose Lazarus configuration files.
TIA
