Thanks for the pointer - I will keep this in mind.

Thanks for joining my removal party:

# LC_ALL=C apt-get autoremove --purge -s
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

# LC_ALL=C apt-get remove --purge $(deborphan) -s
Reading package lists... Done

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  libclang1-9*
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Purg libclang1-9 [1:9.0.1-12]

I substituted python-$package by python*3*-package where needed and
removed remaining python-$packages.

I asked Sylvestre Ledru if I can purge libclang1-9 when I have
libclang1-10 installed.

Nice cleanup today.
