[ddp] deborphan : program that can find unused packages, e.g. libraries

[daily-debian-package at enix.org]

Hello,

Today, I'm happy to present you the Debian package deborphan, which is
part of the admin section, and maintained by Carsten Hey
<c.hey at web.de>. 

This package contains : program that can find unused packages, e.g.
libraries.

deborphan finds "orphaned" packages on your system. It determines which
packages have no other packages depending on their installation and shows
you a list of these packages. It is most useful when finding libraries,
but it can be used on packages in all sections.

This package also includes orphaner, a text menu frontend to deborphan.
Please install the recommended packages dialog, gettext-base and apt when
you want a working and fully featured orphaner.
