Hi,
I normaly run deborphan after I removed or purged a package, to look
packages, which I may remove now, too. It would be usefull, if apt-get
would do that for me:
$ apt-get remove xyz
...
It seems that removing package xyz would render installed packages
libabc and libdef unnecessary. Should I remove them, too? [y|B|h|?]

This is already implemented in aptitude, which also provides most of the
features you are accustomed to in apt-get, along with many other high-level
features.
