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 I would like to save time in configuring Synaptic and saving space.
This is true the dependency tracking feature of Synaptic works quite well, but I require the verbosity of Deborphan in listing all packages not required by any one.
My Deborphan is currently listing 70 packages, maybe only one third of them is to remove, but Synaptic don't list them, like "libgsl0" or all "*-dev".
