John,
There is the deborphan command which you need to install (you do on
Dapper at least). It's in a package called deborphan, believe it or not.

Run the deborphan command and it will give you a list of packages which
nothing else depends on. You can use that list to remove unwanted packages.

I would check the list first, as it apparently is not completely accurate..

Also see gtkorphan.

Regards,
Tony.
