Perhaps a way to say that a dependency should be enforced for 
installation but not for removal.

BTW, don't forget to consider the implications for upgrade; if you've 
removed a leaf presumably you don't want it to reappear on upgrade.

Upgrade presents particularly ugly problems, because a package that you 
have might become dependent on one that you've removed.  That would 
suggest that either the removed package should be restored (if the 
reason you removed it was that you didn't need it) or that the upgrade 
should fail (if the reason you removed it was that you actively didn't 
want it).
