Me too.
The two packages depend on different collections of supporting
packages.
And so, depending on which package you remove --- guile-2.2-libs or
w3m --- a different set of automatically-installed packages will be
left installed for no apparent purpose (because the package they were
installed to support is now gone), and eligible for autoremoval.
This mostly obvious fact (which wasn't obvious to me yesterday) is
obscured by the sheer number of packages *already* eligible for
autoremoval on the system, before removing either of the two packages
in question.
