No, it doesn't. What Han is asking for is this. Say you installed foo and urpmi pulled in libbar and libmoo as things foo depended on. If you then urpme foo, libbar and libmoo don't get uninstalled. If, however, you urpme'd libbar, foo *would* be uninstalled. That is, urpme uninstalls things that depend on the package you call to be urpme'd, but not things the package you call to be urpme'd depends upon. Clear? Probably not.
