Thanks for correcting me, you are correct in the scenario I talked
about, namely using Synaptic. 

I was confused because I personally use aptitude which _will remove
packages that were only installed because of dependencies (that is, were
not explicitly installed by the user) as soon as the dependent package
is removed
