does 'apt-get remove' nuke packages recursively?

[Krzys Majewski <majewski@cs.ubc.ca>]

Suppose  package C depends on package B depends on package A.
Now, it just so happens that no other packages depend on B, 
but package D also depends on A. 
If I do a
	apt-get remove C
is it supposed to do the right thing and remove B as well (but not
remove A)?  -chris
