In ubuntu, I did these commands:
sudo apt-get install build-essential vala-desktop-agnostic checkinstall
sudo apt-get build-dep avant-window-navigator
How can i un-apt-get, or uninstall the packages it pulls in?

First your remove the packages with remove or purge
sudo apt-get purge build-essential vala-desktop-agnostic checkinstall
sudo apt-get purge ....
Then you remove now unneeded dependencies
sudo apt-get autoremove
In the case of build-dep you will have to figure out manually which packages are build-dependencies of avant-window-manager. Synaptic will tell you that.
apt-get remove should do the trick, apt-get purge if you want to dump the config files as well.

1Also, "apt-get autoremove" to remove packages that was installed as a dependency, but uninstalled everything that depends on it. May 21, 2010 at 6:51

yeah, but if you apt-get remove it'll tell you about autoremove ;)– Journeyman Geek ♦May 21, 2010 at 7:31
The first step will remove the installed packages:
sudo apt-get purge build-essential vala-desktop-agnostic checkinstall
The second step will search for the build-deps and mark them as automatically installed, and hence removable:
sudo aptitude markauto $(apt-cache showsrc PACKAGE_NAME | sed -e '/Build-Depends/!d;s/Build-Depends: \|,\|([^)]*),*\|\[[^]]*\]//g')
You may or may not then need the third step:
sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
