 Hi,

 for future:

 at the end of setdown.sh we should try apt-get autoremove ''without''  the
 --yes flag. This may uninstall a lot more than we intend- any packages
 which are self-compiled must manually install any libraries they need if
 they want them to hand around.

 Some installers (e.g. pgRouting) are naughty and don't clean up their -dev
 packages after themselves, leading to a couple of hundred extra MB on the
 final disc. autoremove would catch those.
