Description-en: command for upgrading and sanitizing a Debian system
Upgrade-system offers a convenient way to keep a Debian system up-to-date,
yet free from accumulated cruft such as obsolete libraries.
.
It is particularly useful on systems that mix packages from different
releases (stable/testing/unstable) and on desktop systems where packages
are frequently installed or removed according to evolving user tastes.
.
By default, it is configured to purge all packages that are not listed
as another package's dependency. Less drastic settings are possible by
editing /etc/upgrade-system.conf(5).
