depclean only removes packages that it knows for a fact are no longer needed. |
| 16 |
This means |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
- not in world |
| 19 |
- not linked to by anything |
| 20 |
- not depended on by anything |
| 21 |
|

"not in the tree" is not part of that list. If you have a package in world |
| 23 |
that is not in the tree anymore, depclean will leave it as is. It will remove |
| 24 |
ancient mere deps that are somehow still lying around though |
