Anything wrong with this practice? would it work?
If I install package with apt-get and remove with aptitude?
In addition, I recently removed webmin. Does apt-get --purge remove also delete dependencies installed during apt-get install webmin?
How do I check for those and remove if it didn't get removed automatically?
You can freely use apt-get and aptitude intermixed, because both of them do the same thing behind the scenes - manipulate the dpkg package management system (the back-end to apt utilities).
aptitude remove automatically unneeded packages by default.
With apt-get you should pass the --auto-remove option to obtain the same behavior, or use apt-get autoremove alone.
