It seems that aptitude was the answer to my question. Specifically, I wanted to automatically manage libraries that were added by the woody installer, but were increasingly useless with sarge. The default behavior of 'M' and 'm' in aptitude was just what I was looking for. This could, however, be a continuing problem for anyone who uses dselect for package management; dselect doesn't take advantage of many of apt's capabilities.
