Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: emacs
When you install the emacs package, it install 67mb of other packages
(emacs common and such). However when you uninstall it, it -only-
uninstalls the emacs package, which is like 40kb. So you still have 67mb
worth of packages on your system. Doing apt-get autoremove fails to
detect those packages - the only way to fix this is to manually remove
those packages. Not good.
