According to http://www.fruit.je/debfoster/, "As of 2006-01-01, debfoster is
officially deprecated: aptitude does the same stuff as debfoster but integrated
into the apt system."
Freshmeat lists www.fruits.je as the official website for debfoster, so it
seems valid...
'apt remove {pkgname}' will remove applications and their dependencies,
although I'm not sure either whether it will work with fink's packages or
whether it will remove build time dependencies.
