+This is a well known issue.
+To clear out the list you need a deep knowledge of the system to
+determine which packages are really not needed anymore.
+
+Lately  this --auto-orphans line shreddered my whole system on a fresh
+install after the first update, several system services could not
+start at next reboot, applications did not run, etc. One of the very
+few times I had to re-install because of a bug. Call me newbie or
+pussy but until this is not a secure function I will never touch it
+again.
