Besides all of the above, auto-removable packages don't turn up in this
tool. Really, auto-removable packages should be all that's represented
here until we can figure out how to avoid removing intentionally-
installed software.

Idea 1:

Why not modify gdebi to record which out-of-repository packages the user
installs? That way we could avoid removing those packages, since we know
they were explicitly added by the user.

Idea 2:

Add a "Not Cruft" button to cruft-remover. This should write to the same
'whitelist' gdebi would contribute to in idea 1.
