Actual behaviour

Consider following Dockerfile:

FROM openresty/openresty:1.19.9.1-12-jammy-amd64 as base

RUN apt-get update \
    && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends --only-upgrade \
       dpkg \
       dpkg-dev \
       libldap-2.5-0 \
       libxml2-dev \
       openssl \
    && apt-get autoremove -y \
       cpp \
       libgd-dev \
       libcurl4 \
       perl \
       unzip \
       wget \
    && apt-get -y autoremove \
    && apt-get clean \
    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

When I build an image from that, and then run snyk, I get this;

→ docker build -t snyk-bug . && snyk test --docker --severity-threshold=medium snyk-bug

Expected behaviour

I expected neither the SNYK-UBUNTU2204-WGET-2785488 for wget, nor the SNYK-UBUNTU2204-UNZIP-2778389 for unzip to be reported, as both these packages are uninstalled when building the image, and are effectively missing from the docker container in runtime.
