They say the best way to find a bug is to show it to someone completely
unrזlated to the subject and they will naiively point you in the right
direction. this has proven itself again...

I was using --guess-section, silly me. I have set this up maybe three
years ago, and I forgot what it actually does. Deborphan was actually
behaving the way it should and therefore I am the stupid one.

also, I just discovered it does not appreciate multiple --guess-*
options, so here is my new alias:

apt-get --purge remove  `deborphan` `deborphan  --guess-dev` `deborphan 
--guess-debug`

enjoy!
