What about
aptitude -F "%p" search '~i!~Rdepends:.*'
aptitude -F "%p" search '~i!(~Rdepends:.*|~Rrecommends:.*)'
aptitude -F "%p" search '~i!(~Rdepends:.*|~Rrecommends:.*|~Rsuggests:.*)'
I glanced through the resulting lists of packages and they seemed
reasonable to me. I spotted a few false positives; these were obsolete
libraries which had been installed before I switched to aptitude, so
they were not automatically removed when they were no longer needed.
It might make sense to add '!~slibs' to the aptitude search pattern to
avoid these cases.
