Is part of deborphan's job to clean up for sloppy package maintainers' bad Depends: etc. fields? Or during normal usage does a debian system accrue useless packages?

Now I run the dangerous command... Wait, by looking at the output I think he means look for names of loved ones that are to be spared... etc. Any sure tests? Would I have linked to one of them if I never compile anything on my own? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
