Incorporate debfoster into aptitude and/or synaptic

[Yuan Qi]

by using debfoster to add and remove packages and by adding a item named
"completely remove package and orphaned dependancies". This will help to keep
the installation clean.

if this is too much work, can you at least move debfoster to main. It is an
excellent replacement of apt-get when it comes to adding and removing packages.

Thanks for your bugreport.

This is hoary+1 material. Please note that synaptic already supports deborphan.
I personally think that the "autommatic-dependency" tracking feature of aptitude
is nicer and we should go that way in the future for apt and synaptic.

Cheers,

isn't this fixed by now, there's apt-get autoremove etc. working already.

Thanks,

I consider this fixed with the system-wide implementation of automatic dependency tracking/removal.
