My first thought is that popularity-contest should be able to tell you
this, because it's able to tell *Debian* which packages are "old"
(not recently used).

One of the programs that comes with it is /usr/sbin/popcon-largest-unused
which looks like what you want.

See <https://manpages.debian.org/popcon-largest-unused>.  Looks like
you have to allow popcon to run at least once.
