It lists all packages that are not required by other packages, but this may include packages you want (like OpenOffice.org or kdenetwork-kmail or similar). I wonder if there shouldn't be some way to define the packages you want, so this can be more automatic (apparently dselect or some Debian tool does this, remembering the packages you *wanted* to install, not their deps).
