Take a look at the popularity-contest package:
DEBIAN PACKAGE POPULARITY CONTEST - Avery Pennarun <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
=
This package contains a script, /usr/sbin/popularity-contest, which
generates a list of the packages installed on your system, in order of
most-recently-used to least-recently-used. The simplest way to use this
information is to help clean up your hard drive by removing unused
packages.
For example,
popularity-contest | grep ''
will show you a list of packages you haven't used in a while. Note that
this output isn't totally accurate: some packages appear "old" but you
can't
remove them because other (non-old) packages depend on them. Shared
library
packages are particularly bad this way because it's impossible to tell
when
a library was last used.
