as to which of those packages are still locally needed, and I think
its far more appropriate to expect users who want to clean up their
system to do that review before items are removed than it is to
automatically remove deps and expect users to review which items
should be put back on the system to keep the functionality they
expect.
Now we're just splitting hairs about what "automatic removal" means.
Yes, review is good. aptitude has a nice transaction preview screen,
giving you a chance to review everything its going to do, and won't
perform a transaction without showing it first.
