I recently installed the cinnamon desktop in my Sid installation

Is there any way to eliminate them, as I have been running Thunderbird
and firefox. Trying to purge them results in aptitude wanting to
purge a lot of other stuff, including the cinnamon-desktop-environment.
One of could be a virtual package depending on Iceweasel etc. I'd check
with e.g. a combination of 'apt-cache rdepends iceweasel' and 'apt-cache
show <packagename>'
I don't use cinnammon so don't know the exact packagename.
