Hello,
it would be great if dependency checks could also be done for 'remove'. A=
t
least for lib* (no lib*-dev!) packages this should be possible without ad=
ding a
new attribute to ech package (app/dev/lib etc.).
Regards,
Mark

I do not consider this an appropriate feature for apt-get, it would be
better to go into a seperate cleaner program due to the extreme complexity
of the problem.
