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).
