How do I remove a package and all of it's dependencies?



When I install a package with apt-get  it gets installed with all it's
dependencies. However when I remove a packages some dependencies are
left on the system. For example:

to install:
apt-get install lxde

to remove:
apt-get remove lxde
apt-get autoremove
deborphan

Does not remove all packages. Lxterminal, openbox and  pcmanfm are not
removed.  In Arch I can remove a package and all it's dependencies
with pacman -Runs lxde  and in Gentoo with emerge --depclean. Is there
a similar command for Debian?
