Yes, this is in my opinion one of the shortcomings of "aptitude why" - it only
goes "one level up", whereas I would like it to follow each dependency until
it finds something that was installed manually, or is a system-essential
component.

So, you did "aptitude why libpulse0" and it said "xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin".

However, was that:
    "xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin Depends libpulse0" or
    "xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin Recommends libpulse0" or
    "xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin Suggests libpulse0" ?


The next step is to do "aptitude why xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin" and keep
following things until you discover which package that you installed manually,
or which essential system component, ultimately means you ended up with
libpulse0.

Do you get the same list of packages from "aptitude purge libpulse0"?
