i find myself doing "apt-get autoremove --purge" rather often, and would
prefer to not type so much -- something like "apt-get autopurge" would
be much more preferable.  i have taken it upon myself to implement this
"autopurge" feature.  see the attached patch.

I am thus closing the bug report, as we do not want that.

But thanks for the suggestion anyway.
