Evidently once I've installed package A which requests X, sometimes

package that *requested* it.  When F, L, and T are installed can't all
the packages they *would have requested* be marked whether or not
they're already installed?  That way a package would be orphaned only
when the last package that needs it is uninstalled?  Or am I missing
something?
This is already so. See example: http://pastebin.com/AMj87QiV - after first
urpme libplasmaweather4 should be marked as orphan but it's not as it's
still required by other package.

It seems to me, auto-orphans gives more headaches than benefits. Why are we
clinching to it?
Because I and meany other people finding it useful never faced any
problems on their machine with it.

The only problems I can remember are:
- people wanted to remove some things required by task-kde, which
implied removing task-kde, and then all of kde was orphan. I think
many things were move to suggests since
- some kind of install was installing packages requested by nothing
and they were not marked as requested so they were listed as orphans,
but this was fixed long ago

I recently installed Okular then i removed xpdf and then used auto-orphans : I immedialtely lost any possibility to use wifi...
