Weeding

[Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>]

  OK, my disk filled up today. Ultimately, I'll get a bigger disk, but
  in the short term, I'd like to remove some large, unused packages. Is
  there a tool that gives me a list of installed packages, sorted by
  size? 

  Otherwise, I should be able to cobble something together with dpkg
  --get-selections, dpkg --status $package | awk
  '/^Installed-Size/{print $2}' and sort.

  Maybe this is already a part of cruft. I'll look...
