Reliability of deborphan?

[andy <geek_show@dsl.pipex.com>]

Hey all

I've stumbled across references to "deborphan" to help maintain my 
system. I've installed it and read the man so think that I have a 
reasonable basic knowledge for what it is meant to do, so have run 
deborphan -zs and have been given a list of files. In theory, I should 
be able to zap these to recycle the electrons and save space. But ... 
how reliable is deborphan in identifying truly-orphaned-safe-to-delete 
files ?

Any body have experience to share?

Cheers
