There are a 3 ways that I can think of:

One use synaptic to remove the main package and rest will be listed as 
auto-remove.

Two remove the main package and then run deborphan/gtkorphan to clean up 
the rest.

Three install and run package 'upgrade-system'.

To bad I can't run these tools on my head.
