This has been broached several times. If you look at packages in 4.2,

you'll notice the stuff that has been explicitly installed by users is

The aim is to be able to say `okay, wipe out everything not manual-installed

that's no longer needed as a dependency'.
I still need to check how this works in real usage, but that was the point.
