Package: dpkg Version: 1.10.28 Severity: wishlist Hello, I like to try out new stuff and install a lot of packages. When I want to remove them I don't know why I installed a package and weather I can remove it without damage.
I suggest that dpkg allows me to store a comment for each package when I install it. For example "Suggested by package XY". The front ends apt, dselect and aptitude could be extended that they fill this comment with the package this package was installed for. For example if I install KDE per apt-get kde all the 100 packages installed with it will receive the comment "installed with KDE". If I want to delete later KDE I can query each package and delete every one that has this comment. Thanks a lot for reading until here and listening to my wish.
