How would this happen? We don't support require dependencies that
offer a choice; thus uninstall cannot cause other packages to be
installed.
If you install a package, we automatically install its dependencies.
To do otherwise is madness.
To be clear, we do support "optional" dependencies, and whether those
get installed is controlled by an image policy.
However, whether a dependency is optional is up to the package creator.
