Package: deborphan
Version: 1.7.18
Severity: wishlist

(main request)

It would be nice if I could run something like

  deborphan --guess-all --noguess-perl --noguess-python

(ask deborphan to use all guessing modes EXCEPT some specified).

My use case: I do some perl and python development, so I use plenty of
perl/python packages which are not bound by dependencies. Currently I
have to enter all positive deborphan options except those two to get
the rest...

(possible extra, not 100% sure whether worth doing)

Also, maybe it cold make sense to handle option to keep/nokeep whole
group in addition to keeping individual packages, so I could enter
something like 

  deborphan --add-keep-group perl

with the same effect (note: it should NOT be handled by keeping
all the packages - it should preserve info about the group in case
new packages are added in the future).
