More useless than appindex? More useless than bugsx? More useless than
treetool? I used these three examples because they ARE examples of bloat.
They're all orphaned They have no developers willing to take them up and
clean the bugs out of those packages by name. By the simple fact that
mencal's been ITP'd, it therefore has developer interest. You want to get
rid of bloat, go to http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/orphaned and start
removing.

Fine, start with a WNPP script that puts orphaned packages there. Nuke
the orphans, and you have hundreds of megabytes of space.
