Ultimately it would be very useful to have some kind of a tool that would generate a report from the rpms installed on a system and tell you exactly what depends on what else. Among other things you could use that report to remove stuff that's not needed in any installation.
While not a simple answer, this bash function will provide what you're looking for:
whatrequires () { (rpm -q --qf '%{NAME}\n' "$1" ; rpm -q --provides "$1" ) | tr \\n \\0 | xargs -0 rpm -q --whatrequires ; }
