Bug Description

Request: Add the equivalent of "apt-get autoremove" (/without/ the as-yet-undocumented package argument; see bug 1052864) to the Edit menu. This could be called something like "Remove Unused Dependencies."

I realize there is already a Status of “Installed (auto removable)” that can be used for this, but I would prefer the suggested menu entry, which would be more obvious to a new user of Synaptic.

I'm using Ubuntu 13.04 Raring x86_64.
'synaptic' package version 0.80~exp2raring1
