the users that requested them. So I want to find and uninstall those.

That appears similar to my method:
$ dpkg --get-selections > installed-debs
Print out that list (or view on screen) and then decide

Hello.
Some time ago, I've read somewhere about a tool that can find installed
debian packages that are not used, based on atime of files that belong to
