I always try to keep my systems autoremove-clean, so that I can remove
packages and then do "apt --purge autoremove" afterwards to clean up any
no-longer-needed dependencies.  If you haven't been consistently
maintaining your systems this way, then you may need to experiment with
an autoremove pass first to see what it wants to remove, and use
"apt-mark manual <package>" or "apt install <package>" on things you
don't want to remove so that they aren't proposed for automatic removal.

"apt purge" does both the remove and purge steps, so you can skip the
separate "apt remove" command.
