'debfoster' is a neat program to find cruft and remove it.
If pkgx is install and has dependencies a, b and c, then 'debfoster'
will show you this and ask you if you want to delete all of them. Read
the man pages and docs before you use it as its job is to remove stuff.
you can also just do 'apt-cache show pkgx' to see its dependencies
