How to get rid of an uninstalled program's now-unneeded/un-used dependencies

[Jeff Co]

I installed deborphan via synaptic. then i did deborphan in terminal. It 
produced this list:

libclan2-png
gstreamer0.8-lame
libclan2-gui
libclan2-jpeg
libclan2-vorbis
.


I marked evince, a pdf viewer, for installation (in synaptic). I was told it 
needed a file that went something like libXYZ. Then I removed evince. I ran 
deporphan again, but the list of files was the same. What happened to the 
dependency synaptic told me that evince needed? How come it wasn't on the 
list of deborphan?
