I just looked over your patch[1]. It changes a different paragraph
than the one I modified.
The paragraph modified by [1] is about how to free up some space.
I believe its intent is:
One way to free up space is to remove packages you do
not need. Here are a few ways to find candidate packages
to remove:
* Run popcon-largest-unused, which finds large packages
whose files you haven't touched recently.
* Run "apt-get autoremove", which removes packages that
were automatically installed and for which there is no
longer a manually installed package justifying their
continued installation.
* Run deborphan or debfoster, which more aggressively
searches for unnecessary packages based on package
dependencies.
* Run aptitude and look for the "Obsolete and Locally
Created Packages" category, which will contain packages
from previous releases that you never bothered to remove.
The patch [1] removes important details, so I fear it needs more work.
I agree with the goal, though.
Thanks,
Jonathan
