I would be careful about that. Some of your custom installed software
may need some of the so called "obsolete" packages. For instance
Wordperfect and netscape non-debian installs both require some of the
xpm4 libs and StarOffice as well. Check carefully the dependencies of
any installed non-debian software before removing these. Best Wishes!
