How to keep your system clean:

Packages:

• deborphan - find orphaned libraries (equivs can be used to build custom meta packages to pin packages always needed, deborphan has quite a lot of fine tuning command line options and comes with a gui, orphaner, to directly remove orphaned libs)
• cruft - find the cruft in your system

Misc:

This nice command removes all orphaned config files from you system, it's a --purge after you did the remove:

dpkg --get-selections | grep deinstall$ | sed "s/deinstall$/purge/" | dpkg --set-selections; 
apt-get dselect-upgrade
