I don't know what apt-get autoremove does on Ubuntu but have you checked
pkg_deinstall(1) and it's man page? Right from there:
DESCRIPTION
The pkg_deinstall command is a wrapper of pkg_delete(1) used to
deinstall packages, which understands wildcards and is capable
of *recursing through dependencies*.
(emphasis mine)
Have a look at -r and/or -R options.
HTH,
