Automatic pruning of unused libs



Is there a program to remove libraries which were pulled in by apt-get
as prerequisites, but are no longer needed by anything?  For example, my
system has libgtkhtml17, 18, 19, and 20.  The three former versions are
not required by any installed package -- they just consume disk space. 
It would be neat if apt-get remembered what packages were pulled in as
dependencies, and offered to remove them when they fall out of the
dependency tree.
