I don't know of an automatic way, but 'deborphan' may be a start... After you remove a package that you know brought additional ones with it, run deborphan and it *should* find those "leftovers". I use it quite often. I try lots of programs and if I don't like them, I try and remember to remove them. I hate clutter...
