I just went through that process. Aptitude worked well for manually tracing dependencies; as an example, type '/libqt2' (no quotes), hit enter (which will find the libqt2 package), then down arrow to 'packages depending on libqt2', hit enter again, and there's a list of everything that depends libqt2. Arrow down to a package in that list, hit enter again, arrow down to 'packages depending..', hit enter, and there's some indirect dependencies. Took me a long afternoon, but I cleared a lot of unused/unwanted stuff this way. Also found some other things to install, so I didn't clear as much space as I'd hoped :) -- first impressions are bunk (unknown)
