deborphan
or
apt-get autoremove
deborphan only lists, apt-get autoremove will ask you for confirmation to
remove. use -s to do a dry run.

well, if the packages is in status "install ok installed", everything
should be there.
do
dpkg -s packagename
for information on the package's status, description and the list of
dependencies (field "Depends:").
dpkg -C
prints a list of packages not installed correctly or nothing, if there are
none.
