[Popcon-developers] Bug#414865: popularity-contest: A script to filter requested/recommended/suggested packages

Hello,
  This fourth version of "popcon-nodependency" is closer to deborphan:
  . the "-e" option accepts a list of packets to exclude, separated by
commas
  . it manages a list of files to keep "/var/lib/deborphan/keep" (do one
have to do something else specific?)

I also propose "popcon-retirement", which recursively calls
"popcon-largest-unused|popcon-nodependency", a bit like "orphaner" calls
"deborphan".

Note that the code of "popcon-retirement" is mostly a syntactic
rearrangement of "orphaner"
(i.e. I don't understand details of the code!)
Therefore it would be nice if  someone (with motivation, skills, and
time) could have a look to this code. Volunteers? ;-)


Regards,
Christophe.
