that brought in a bunch of stuff. turns out, i don't like it and want to
remove it and all its demonspawn. is there a command that uses the
meta-package to uninstall what it installed?

usually "aptitude purge THEMETAPACKAGE" should remove all depending packages.

There are a 3 ways that I can think of:
One use synaptic to remove the main package and rest will be listed as
auto-remove.
Two remove the main package and then run deborphan/gtkorphan to clean up
the rest.
Three install and run package 'upgrade-system'.
To bad I can't run these tools on my head.
