Except, that this doesn't work. There is an equivalent in Debian-sphere (called deborphan) but it is well known not to be able to find ex post what should be removed correctly. Have you ever tried just to remove ALL packages suggested by it? Moreover, it is not possible to mark (so that you can remember it later), which libraries you have installed because you just wanted them although they are not marked as dependency of any other package (e.g., libdvdcss). I cannot help myself, but this ex post tool is as poor replacement of aptitude-like "remember during installation what you want" as diff-like tools are poor replacements of revision marking (I was working couple of years as lawyer so I know what I am talking about).
