Interesting.
But it answers too broad a question - it refers to the universe of 
Debian packages. [~840 hits on my machine]

A more informative {for my purposes} is:
'apt-cache --installed rdepends lsb-base'
It refers to my galaxy of Debian packages. [~40 hits on my machine]

But it sheds light on this thread's original subject line.
It listed several packages [e.g. speech-dispatcher] for which I have no 
apparent need. It will be educational to search out why they were 
installed. I have an ongoing educational project of creating an 
extremely minimalist Debian subset which would my ADL requirements. {If 
you are a physical therapist I mean that ADL ;}
