    $ apt-cache show deborphan

    Installed-Size: 92
    Maintainer: Peter Palfrader <weasel at debian.org>

    Description: Find orphaned libraries
     deborphan finds "orphaned" packages on your system.
     It determines which packages have no other packages
     depending on their installation, and shows you a list of
     these packages. It is most useful when finding libraries,
     but it can be used on packages in all sections.

Yours sincerely,
