I have a question along the same lines, but opposite scenario. If a
dummy package is installed, and then it's uninstalled, only the dummy
package is uninstalled, not the dependencies. For example, installing
linux-image-686-pae also installs
linux-image-3.2.0-4-686-pae. However, removing linux-image-686-pae
doesn't also remove linux-image-3.2.0-4-686-pae. How in this example
would removing linux-image-686-pae also remove
linux-image-3.2.0-4-686-pae as well? Doing apt-get --purge remove
doesn't work in these situations. Note, I'm not actually intending to
uninstall the kernel, this is just an example that readily came to
mind.
