That might be useful, but for another prurpose - to have some wahy of doing a pkg_delete "recursively" but downwards. I.e. when I install package X and it depends on Y and Z it will install them. But it would be really nice if when I deinstall X it would deinstall Y and Z if nothing else depends on them. This could be done by applying the above to dependencies of the package and seeing if they can be deleted. -pcf.
