So a metapackage is a package consisting only of dependencies of type require,
correct?
And if you install a metapackage, it installs its dependants. What happens if
you uninstall a metapackage? I suspect the answer is "nothing happens to the
dependants" but I'm not sure, and I can see it being useful both ways; that is,
it might be nice to both be able to install "wad" and completely uninstall
"wad". Is that second step possible with pkg(1)?
I see -r, but that says "uninstall packages which contains dependencies *on*
this package", which seems like the reverse dependency, right?
