Build your own bootable, live-on-CD distro with the Knoppix Linux distribution and this Knoppix Remastering HOWTO.
Check out the program "deborphan", it will list orphaned packages that you can remove, these packages were used by packages that are now removed.

I have had good results remastering working from the cd as root working from fluxbox. Just say "knoppix 2" at the boot prompt and it will boot you to a root prompt where you can then say "startx /usr/bin/fluxbox". I like to use the xterm unicode shell.

While working chroot doing the remastering I like to use "apt-get remove --purge pkg-name" to remove packages because before it does anything it will stop and show detials on what it is fixing to remove and let you say "yes or no".
