My wishes about Deborphan and Synaptic:
- in the filter configuration, "Orphan" is split into "Orphan Libraries" and
"Top-level packages";
- the "Orphan libraries" filter exists by default but is hidden while Deborphan
is missing;
- installing Deborphan unveils this filter.
I'm not Joe Mama but
To get synaptic to show orphans, you have to add a filter. Follow these
instructions:
- Start synaptic
- Proceed to Settings->Filters
- New filter
- Uncheck everything but "Orphaned"; if you leave anything else checked, then
either nothing will show or every package available will show.
- View t
I see stuff like
main/editors openoffice.org
main/utilsgconf-editor
main/adminlanguage-selector
restricted/base linux-686
main/x11 x-window-system-core
main/gnomegnome-app-install
non-free/misc sl-m
So is the regular orphan search (it lists gstreamer plug-ins I use).
I'm not worried about a fresh installed Edgy. Try it on a system you
haven't reinstalled in a while. This isn't Windows, you don't have to
re-install every 3 months to keep it working.

On a fresh (just installed) edgy, auto-removable list is empty. deborhan
-a lists the following:
main/base ubuntu-standard
main/net vsftpd
main/base linux-image-generic
main/base linux-image-2.6.17-7-generic
main/base
I'm on edgy. Filters to list "orphans" still list the output of
'deborphan'.
Have you tried 'deborphan -a' to see if there's any packages you don't
want installed that aren't on the auto-removable list?

A further look (deborphan -a) shows a ton of packages I installed myself
as well, which I may want to remove. Games I no longer play, -dev
packages, the fish shell.. things I have to clean up by hand, taking a
lot of copy/paste in the shell.
Amusingly, users do want to mass-remove packages they i

I suppose. Mine's empty though, aside from 4 linux-* things that it
says I can remove. As for deborphan:

The edgy version of synaptic support automatic tracking of packages that
were installed as dependencies and will display packages that can be
automatically removed in the status view (or via a filter). I consider
this a better solution than using deborphan and if you agree I will
close this bugrepo
