Package: aptitude
Followup-For: Bug #178770

FWIW, IMHO this can be marked as fixed, since aptitude now has the
option --purge-unused respectively Aptitude::Purge-Unused which
according to aptitude(8) does exactly what the OP wants.

Just add Aptitude::Purge-Unused=true to /etc/apt.conf and you're done.


Kind regards
Marcus
