Surely it woulb be _very_good_ idea, along with communicator and a
really _huge_ stuff I have in, but I really afraid about messing my
system with broken dependencies and so... Ok, removing almos all the
bunch I have would be a great idea too... but I have some questions to
ask:

1. Does Debian install any stuff inside /usr/local ?
2. Is secure to the system integrity to _wipe_ /usr/local (no
daemons/services stored in /usr/local and such issues)? The sense of
_wiping_ /usr/local means removing files/symlinks from /usr/local/bin,
/usr/local/lib and such.

I'm a bit short of space in my /usr partition, and it would be
"useful"... :)
