or there should be an option to force an uninstall without deps (like
with rpm):

uninstalling A
WARNING packages: B, C depend on A and are not being uninstalled
We don't want to support this, because it allows the user to break his
system.
* Why do you want to uninstall A, if B & C depend on it?
* What should the state of B & C be, if A is forcibly removed?
* We use package dependencies to prevent two packages from owning
the same file at the same time, or having one package declare
/usr/openwin a directory and other declare a symbolic link. How
can we prevent chaos if the administrator is free to ignore all
constraints.
