i'd like to remove all files that debian didn't install, obviously ignoring places like /home, /var, /tmp, /usr/local, /dev (any other suggestions i have overlooked?)?
there's cruft, but it's too complicated and while i should configure it
in the long run, for now i have thought of something like the following,
which can run for a while. i took the output of a `find /` and deleted
all lines corresponding to inodes in the above special directories
(find has no exclude!!! wishlist!), and now i want to:
while read i; do
dpkg -S $i &> /dev/null || echo $i
done < findlist > orphanfiles
and then further inspect orphanfiles and finally delete what i deem
appropriate.
any thoughts?
