Yes, please.  Mainly because package install operations that pull in
or upgrade dependencies are difficult to roll back.  A user pulling
in a new package which he knows could potentially disturb his
existing setup would find this useful.

Don't care for this much, unless this would be the interface to
figure out if an install would need a reboot, as Nico suggested.
Though for that case, I prefer a command which would just tell me if
a reboot would be required and make no changes to the image at all.
Maybe "pkg install -n"?

Venky.
