Well, if I remove basesystem (which is required by nothing), I could
also easily remove common-licenses if every packager would follow your
rule.  This would cause that the user would have no copy of the GPL on
his system.  However, if every package requires common-licenses, this
cannot happen (excluding cases where the user --nodeps a package
removal).

What about my other questions?
