    Status: Open => Answered

Sebastian Gurkasch proposed the following answer:
It will only remove packages, that are no longer useful for your system,
e.g. when they were installed as dependency for a program you installed.

It is not going to remove programs (or their dependencies) you explicit
installed.

Of course, it is just a program and isn't unfailing, so take a good look
at the list before cleaning up.

Further infos: 'man computer-janitor'
