Package: debfoster Version: 2.8-1 Severity: serious Justification: makes package useless
Hi, In trixie, if I: 1. apt install mediainfo # this installs a dozen of dependencies, such as 'publicsuffix' 2. debfoster 3. answer "prune" for mediainfo I get the following result: > root@d12:~# debfoster > > mediainfo is keeping the following 21 packages installed: > libcurl3t64-gnutls libgnutls30t64 libldap-common libldap2 libmediainfo0v5 > libmms0 libnghttp2-14 libnghttp3-9 libngtcp2-16 libngtcp2-crypto-gnutls8 > libp11-kit0 libpsl5t64 > librtmp1 libsasl2-2 libsasl2-modules libsasl2-modules-db libssh2-1t64 > libtasn1-6 libtinyxml2-11 libzen0t64 publicsuffix > Keep mediainfo?

[Y/n] I would expect debfoster to request the removal of other mediainfo dependencies, like it did in bookworm. This does not match the behaviour described in the manpage for 'prune': it should remove "all packages that are only installed because this package depends on them".
