Comment 6 for bug 17297

Although, funny story about that, I ran the following to clean out the dev package but it took 4 or 5 rounds before it finished, and some general deborphanry to remove the extra libraries (i.e. anything not libsafe or gstreamer*):

$ sudo apt-get remove --purge `deborphan -a | grep '\-dev$' | awk '{print $2}'`

As for the list above, manually:

$ sudo apt-get remove --purge pitivi dash libxml-parser-perl libgbf-1-common cdbs ubuntu-calendar ifrename laptop-mode libxmu-headers ijsgimpprint python-gst devscripts blobwars armagetron makedepend procmail devhelp-common python-gdchart installation-report

Now I have a list of 61 to parse instead of 65.

Now a list of 48.

Now 47.

Now 47. A single new library is not needed.

Now 46, finally only things I want.
