| deborphan(1), if I'm understanding your question.
Not quite. Deborphan will show me packages that have nothing depending on
them and can be safely removed. I would like to contribute more to the
project and the next best way I can think of is to take up an orphaned
package. I have looked through the wnpp lists, and nothing strikes me as
something I use daily that I just gotta have a newer version. However,
there may be something on my system that I used semi-infrequently that I may
NOT KNOW I use that I could take a stab at updating. Just a thought.
Thanks for the input!
