so here's an example. I do:

sudo apt-get remove korn-trinity

and I get a whole list of stuff to autoremove. I've included it after my signature. some of this stuff I want to retain.

Using Synaptic, you'd select any you want to keep, go to the Package menu, and uncheck "Automatically installed". Or if you prefer, you can use apt-mark to mark them as manually installed (see man apt-mark).

found the 'man' on 'apt-mark' a bit obscure but this is a great tip so I'll be exploring it.

everyone's referencing 'synaptic'; is it considered superior to 'kpackage'?

I prefer the 'apt-get'/'aptitude' in general but will use whatever does the job effectively.
