My personal preference is to use aptitude(8) to install and manage
packages.  Aside from being a good and responsive curses UI it has the
nice feature of tracking automatically installed packages.

It works just like deborphan except that, you know, being the way you
install packages it has absolute knowledge of what you did or did not
ask it to do.

If you want this sort of extra cleverness then I suggest you trial
aptitude before trialing tools that try to reverse engineer the
information that aptitude *knows.*
