No, it is not essential.

There are numerous mechanisms already available to users to either 
correct or deal with broken packages.

Ultimately, it is not reasonable to expect a package management system 
to be able to correctly manage broken packages.

I believe that --force options are ultimate a cop-out; they fail to deal 
with the real, underlying issues.
