Notes:
- debsizes knows to only look at manually-installed packages
- If you have a file named ~/Keepers/system , debsizes will ignore packages listed in that file. This is good for excluding base packages that you know you won't want to remove.
- The number next to each dependent package is the count of other manually-installed packages pulling in that dependency. Each depending package is allotted a portion of the dependency's disk usage.
