I always like to use deborphan with the "--guess-all" option and apt-get
with the "--purge" option.

Well, in fact, I filter deborphan's output through "grep -v libc6-i686", so
that it doesn't remove this package.

Since I like to have a minimal system, I prefer apt-get, but I see that
some people may prefer aptitude instead of apt-get when they don't have
this "always minimal" state of mind.


Just my two cents, Rogério.
