Description-en: program that can find unused packages, e.g. libraries
deborphan finds "orphaned" packages on your system. It determines which
packages have no other packages depending on their installation and shows
you a list of these packages. It is most useful when finding libraries,
but it can be used on packages in all sections.
.
This package also includes orphaner, a text menu frontend to deborphan.
Please install the recommended packages dialog, gettext-base and apt when
you want a working and fully featured orphaner.
