apt-get aptitude dependencies purge



Anyone know the proper tool (shell) to best remove (purge) packages
and their dependencies after installing?

For instance on a wheezy install when I added 'eog' (eye of
gnome) it added 15 other dependency packages. Then removing ego only
removed eog, literally. The dependencies remained. Is that the proper
behavior these days? It didn't used to be.

same result using:
apt-get --purge autoremove eog
apt-get --purge remove eog
aptitude purge eog

cheers.
