+### deborphan retirement
+
+The venerable `deborphan` package has been removed ([1065310](https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1065310))!
+That's a bit of a surprise, and kind of a big concern, because we were
+using it in our upgrade procedure, to cleanup things after
+upgrades. It's also part of the [official upgrade procedures](https://www.debian.org/releases/testing/release-notes/upgrading.en.html#obsolete-packages), or
+at least it [was in bookworm](https://www.debian.org/releases/testing/release-notes/upgrading.en.html#transitional-dummy-packages):
+
+> The package descriptions for transitional dummy packages usually
+> indicate their purpose. However, they are not uniform; in
+> particular, some "dummy" packages are designed to be kept installed,
+> in order to pull in a full software suite, or track the current
+> latest version of some program. You might also find deborphan with
+> the --guess-* options (e.g. --guess-dummy) useful to detect
+> transitional dummy packages on your system.
+
+So what do we use `deborphan` for? We were calling it like this:
+
+        apt purge $(deborphan --guess-dummy) &&
+        while deborphan -n | grep -q . ; do apt purge $(deborphan -n); done &&
+
+This, essentially, was doing two things:
+
+ 1. **remove "dummy" packages**: this was looking for the string
+    `dummy` in the `Description:` field, or the regex
+    `transition(|n)($|ing|al|ary| package| purposes)` (see
+    [pkg_info.c](https://sources.debian.org/src/deborphan/1.7.35/src/pkginfo.c/#L75-L88)) when the `--guess-dummy` option is passed
+
+ 2. **remove "obsolete" packages**: this is the primary function of
+    deborphan, which, according to the manual page, is:
+
+    > `deborphan` finds packages that have no packages depending on them.
+    > The default operation is to search within the `libs`, `oldlibs` and
+    > `introspection` sections to hunt down unused libraries.
+
+    Basically, this looks for leaf packages in the specified
+    sections. All sections can be checked with `--all` or packages can
+    be included based on their name with heuristics hardcoded in the
+    source code through commandline flags (e.g. `--guess-python` looks
+    for packages like `^python[[:digit:].]*-` or `--guess-perl` witll
+    do `^lib.*-perl$`) but we were not using those.
+
+    What we *were* doing is disabling the "nice mode" with `-n`
+    (which, in long form, is confusingly called `--nice-mode`  even
+    though it *disables* the nice mode). This stops considering
+    `Suggests` or `Recommends` in the list of dependencies for
+    packages that can be removed.
+
+To work around the removal, we used `apt-mark` to take care of the
+packages in libs/oldlibs:
+
+    apt-mark auto '~i !~M (~slibs|~soldlibs|~sintrospection)'
+
+Then we use the `apt search` interface, even though it warns us about
+the API, because we need to match for installed packages, which is not
+included in the `apt-cache` output. We look for packages matching a
+the "dummy" patterns and mark those as "auto" as well:
+
+    apt-mark auto $(apt search 'apt search 'transition(|n)($|ing|al|ary| package| purposes)' | grep '^[^ ].*\[installed' | sed 's,/.*,,') &&
+    apt-mark auto $(apt search dummy | grep '^[^ ].*\[installed' | sed 's,/.*,,')) &&
+
+Then we let the autopurge get rid of those packages automatically.
+
+One bit we're missing from the previous incantation is the recursive
+aspect. We were looping over `deborphan -n` until it was empty, and
+were often picking up more than one items in the chain. I'm not sure
+how to fix that without turning this into an even uglier shell
+pipeline.
+
+Note that this doesn't cover "obsolete" packages in the sense of
+"packages that are not in Debian anymore". This used to be done with
+`apt-forktracer`, and we're now relying on the `?obsolete` pattern
+from apt. We're also doing this horror:
+
+    apt list "?narrow(?installed, ?not(?codename($(lsb_release -c -s | tail -1))))" &&

+sfwbar is an alternative. It behaves well and has a more GUI-like
