deborphan - apt-get autoremove
man deborphan:
deborphan finds packages that have no packages depending on them. The default operation is to search only within the libs and oldlibs sec‐tions to hunt down unused libraries.
man apt-get autoremove
apt-get autoremove (--purge) is used to remove packages that were automatically installed to satisfy dependencies for other packages and are now no longer needed.
so what actually is the differce? (btw apt-get autoremove always lists much more packages as deborphan)
