Bug Description

Binary package hint: system-cleaner

Tried the Cruft Remover today and was presented with this:

Now what's going to happen when the user clicks on the "Cleanup?" button? The UI not only doesn't describe what will happen but also suggests that / will be removed!

The shown problem is something to fix, not something to remove. This checkbox thing should be reworked if there are more categories to handle a problem, otherwise it will confuse users.
