Hi,
i'd like to see a functionality which determines if a certain package -
that was once installed because of a dep - is no longer needed.

a simple file would do the trick:

# pkg_name      is_used_by
package_1       x, y, z

if you unmerge package z it gets removed, if all dependencies are gone
package_1 (which would be a lib or so) can be rmeoved too.

furthermore it gives the user the ability to check why a certain package
(which he hasn't explicit emerged) is on the system.
