I have found the computer janitor tool to be quite useful when 
un-installing applications (removing the packages that were previously 
installed as a dependency, but are no longer required).

The "apt-get autoremove" command seems to delivery the same 
functionality according to "man apt-get".

Personally, I think we should either keep it in its current state or 
have this functionality implemented in the Software Centre tool. In both 
cases keep it in the default installation.
