   Description     : Suggests and optionally marks manually installed 
 packages 
 as automatic 
  
  apt-suggest-auto is a tool designed to help manage installed packages by 
  identifying those that were manually installed but could be marked as 
  automatically installed. This is particularly useful for maintaining a 
  clean package list and ensuring that packages serving solely as 
  dependencies are correctly flagged. It is aimed as a replacement for tools 
  like debfoster or deborphan. 
  
 Currently it lives at https://salsa.debian.org/lucas/apt-suggest-auto 
 (but the package is not ready for upload yet). 
  
 That functionality should be added to APT at some point. Initially I 
 wanted to wait until this is included in APT, and there's an MR 
 at https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/apt/-/merge_requests/502 . 
 But (0) I find myself using the python version quite frequently; 
 (1) there's still some work to do before the MR gets merged; 
 (2) it's still useful as a separate tool in the meantime, to be able to 
 backport the tool to stable releases and perform cleanup before 
 upgrades.
