Package: Leaf package finder for Debian
System name: leafpkgs
Type: non-GNU

Description:
  Leafpkgs is a small utility written in Python that shows those                
packages in a Debian system which no other packages depend on                   
(leaf packages).  It helps you keep your system clean of unneeded               
packages.                                                                       
                                                                                
  Leafpkgs reads the DPKG status database and shows the unneeded                
package names (with a short description) on its standard output.                
You can work on several dependency levels and filter the results                
according to package priority or section.                                       
                                                                                
  With leafpkgs you can also select some specific packages to                   
delete, and then see which packages become leaf packages, so you                
can later remove them all easily.                                               
                                                                                
  Please note that leafpkgs never removes a package, it only                    
figures out what would happen if some packages were removed.                    
                                                                                
I have developed a fully working version which uses distutils.
