What was the package to be removed?
It wasn't me upgrading (I'd have stopped manually if I saw ~190
dependencies being removed), so I can't tell.
because to fix issues properly and not just do random things about them
(that seem to be OK on a first glance) the issues need to be investigated
and actually fixed, for all known cases.
I do agree, and I want to help investigate that. Besides that
investigation, however, I find logical to use --nodeps when removing a
package which is not anymore in the repositories. Why should I remove
also packages which are still supported in the installed repos?
Because doing what you suggest would hide bugs even more.

I can confirm I had the same problem. Having -a or --nodeps as others
suggested might be benefical to the end users (but I agree it hides bugs
to the devs). What happened for me was that while talking with somebody
I got asked if I wanted to remove unneeded pkgs and said yes. Then I
half-saw the output text scrolling fast and managed to stop the insanity
soon enough. I would've appreciated a "are you sure you're going to
remove all of the above?". This is not something you're going to put
into an automated script anyways...
Speaking of which (and this is a problem I've had for a while), equo
keeps on telling me that boost is unneeded. Is there a way to tell it I
do need it instead?
