Bear in mind when you use --all-packages that, while removing packages
listed will make the Debian system happy about being smaller, the
list will likely contain many of the packages that make the system
worth operating at all (unless you're getting all your functionality
from flatpaks and suchlike, rather than Debian).
Yeah. Many of the packages in deborphan's output are things I actually
want to keep, and I think that that if you remove something, all of its
requirements are still installed. Unless there's a smart package
manager that goes through all of said requirements and removes them if
they now have no dependents.
