Aptitude will remove the package and ALL dependencies that are not being used as well which is where i think all the extra stuff is coming from. Now im limited in my verse with aptitude so i cannot specify why its grabbing at vlc as such but this is what i see it doing which is why it pulls so many more packages. Apt-get autoremove usually gives the same. (IIRC)
