umh, so it seems apt doesn't like to remove packages thare it doesn't
know about.
umpf.
That thing is probably triggered by
apt-get install debdelta-
which actually *removes* debdelta.
boring bugs are boring. :)
Something I want to do is to stop telling apt to remove packages if they
aren't installed, e.g. check whether they are installed (by dpkg-query,
for example) before trying to uninstall them.
The same thing is done also for ccache and aptitude.
