I really fail to see the reason.

i'm removing a package foo
$set = all of the packages on which foo depends
for each $item of $set
{
  if there is no package (other than foo) _installed_ which depends
     on $item
  {
    remove $item
  }
}

Why do we need more information than the info we currently have to do
this? Why do we need package history? I can't think of any problem or case.

Maybe you missed the *when removing a package* in the mail subject. Or
it's just me missing something :O) Please explain.
