[Pkg-cups-devel] how to clean off dummy packages?

[jidanni at jidanni.org]

Say, how do the pros clean up those dummy packages lying around their system?
Find their name with
# grep-status 'This is a dummy package'
and then apt-get purge them?
Seems not to systematic.

OK, I just tried that here on sid
# apt-get purge libcupsys2
...  50 to remove
It wanted to take 50 packages along with it... no dummy!
