open synaptic.
select an application that has dependencies that will be removed if the
application will be removed.
Right click and select "totally remove" the application.
A message with "the following applications will also be removed" will be
displayed.
Selecting OK does not "place" these dependencies in a "totally remove" state
but in the state of "simply" remove. (aka: although the selected application
will be "purged" the dependencies will just be uninstalled and not purged.
User has to manually mark them to be purged.
Personally prefer to save the annotations, change all from "uninstall" to
"purge" (in a text editor) then load the annotations again.
Since user selects the purge for the "main application" either all its
dependencies should be also purged or (at least) provide a way to
automatically mark the relevant dependencies to be purged.
