This is a part of the pkg-order suite. This does precisely
what you want.

NAME
pkg-nodep - List of packages that are not targets.
SYNOPSIS
usage: pkg-node [options]
where the options are:
--nocheck-recommends
--check-recommends Check Recommends as well [OFF]
--nocheck-suggests
--check-suggests Check Suggests as well [OFF]
--installed-packages <Package-file-for-installed-packages>
DESCRIPTION
This utility details out the list of packages installed
that have no other packages that depend on them
(optionally also checks Recommends and Suggestions).
The default is to assume that the list of installed packages may be
derived from the file I</var/lib/dpkg/status>, but the user may
override this by providing a I<Packages> file listing all the
packages that are assumed to be installed.
CAVEATS
This is very inchoate, at the moment, and needs testing.
BUGS
None Known so far.
