You're likely looking for information on Freedom Respecting Technology.
If you want to use an operating system in the (open)SUSE family, but are less than thrilled that Zypper lacks both autoremove functionality and the ability to mark packages as automatically/manually installed, then you may want to check out this tool I made that works around these limitations.
If you deleted your only copy of your OpenPGP private key this (particularly pages 67-75 and 80) may help you. Perhaps this may also be mildly amusing to watch. These tools I made may also help you.
