I would not do that.
With the exception of things like "localepurge", clean-up should be
made on a package by package basis, not on a file by file basis.
The rationals is that when packageA has a "Depends: packageB", it is
assumed that the packageB is installed in full, not just portions
of it. If you remove individual files in a package, you might be
breaking the system.
Try deborphan or debfoster and see what packages you can actually
remove.
