-aRr isn't implied by -a, the rR options are ignored in the former.
I think it's fairly clear that recursing through installed
packages with consistent dependecies isn't going to find a package
that isn't in the set of all installed packages. The remaining question
is whether -Ra also recurses though new dependencies, and that's covered
in the entry for -R.
It doesn't really matter though, since -aRr is only a waste of
keystrokes.
