Maybe Warren meant "apt-get -D remove foo".

In addition to removing foo and all packages that depend on foo, -D will
cause all packages which only foo alone depends on to be removed as
well.  IIRC the last one is not implemented in yum, ie. its "dep tree
removal" is one way only.

No, -D is not documented in the apt-get(8) man page :/
