For what it's worth, Apt (the Debian package manager) works the same 
way: if you remove a package, it will just inform you that there are 
unneeded deps and that you can use 'apt autoremove' to clean them up. I 
think that makes sense, since you might really want the new version of 
some package, and you just don't realize that it's marked as a dep 
instead of an explicitly-installed package.
