Very interesting tool, I'm going to try it as soon as Manoj uploads it.
Actually, runtime libraries and other "service" packages (i. e. packages not
intented for final users to work with them directly but for other packages to
depend on them) should be removed automatically when the packages needing them
are removed. Are there any plans on dpkg or Deity to implemment this?
