Well. If that's how you want to play it, then you may need to build a metapackage of your own using "equivs". Figure out the dependency relationship that you want to maintain, write the control file, run the equivs command, install the resulting .deb file. Life is a bit simpler if you don't use autoremove. (I purge the old kernels by hand.) I'm still confused by your insistence on keeping GNOME installed, though. I thought you weren't using GNOME. I thought you were using TDE. And as far as orca goes, "gnome" depends on orca, and orca merely suggests brltty. So, removing brltty shouldn't remove orca, and orca should be able to function without brltty. > But that still doesn't answer the question, How much longer till trixie is > official? I even put a ? mark on it. Sorry, my time machine is at the mechanic.
