To find out why the package was installed run the following command:

aptitude why libatlas3gf-sse

The output should be something like this:

i   octave3.0    Depen libsuitesparse-3.2.0 (>= 1:3.2.0)       
                 ds       
i A libsuitespar Depen liblapack3gf | libatlas3gf-base | libatlas3gf-sse | libat
se-3.2.0         ds    las3gf-sse2 | libatlas3gf-3dnow       


This says that my octave3.0 package depends on libsuitsparse-3.2.0
which depends on one of the 5 packages listed.
