Speaking of aptitude, it does remove automatically installed package if no other package depends on it, or recommends it. This behavior can be changed by configuration entries in /etc/apt/apt.conf, /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/*, etc. To show any installed packages that aren't "auto"

Here you have the answer to your own question. Use apt-mark to mark the packages you want to keep and all "required" packages as "manual"ly installed. Then mark all other packages as "auto". Then let apt-get autoremove do its work. After that, use e.g. aptitude to remove remaining configuration
