I thought it would be nice if when installing with apt we could assign a
"session" name. Then later we could remove all applications
+installed when "session" was created. As an example tonight I wanted to
install task-kde which has something like 54 dependencies. If in a
+week I didn't want KDE I'd have to track down all 54 install packages and
remove them manually. There are ways to record what apt installs,
+but creating such lists manually each time would be a pain.
Coruscant:~# apt-get session=FOO install task-kde
"...0 packages upgraded, 55 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded...."
Coruscant:~# apt-get remove <FOO>
"...0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 55 to remove and 0 not upgraded...."

aptitude implements a feature that is even smarter than what you asked for.
It will keep track of the fact that certain packages were installed due to a
dependency, rather than requested explicitly. If the dependent package is
removed, the auxiliary package will be automatically removed as well.
