That is an interactive script that lets you delete all packages that
aren't required by other packages. You still need some way to work
out what dependencies were installed by the first package.
But I think it can be made to do what Yann wants. You can pkg_delete the
original package/port (A as he described it). Then run pkg_rmleaves
(possibly more than once) and it will delete B and D, but keep C because
it's not a leaf. If you have any leaf packages that you don't want to
delete, you need to be careful of those. Perhaps run pkg_rmleaves before
deleting A and note any pre-existing leaves.
