The dependency warning may be overstated a bit, in your situation you're not likely to cause that issue by accident.
Another view might be that systems should be built from scratch when significant changes are made. Regardless of your CM tool, that's generally a better idea these days - even upgrades generally benefit from standing up a fresh system to replace the older system. Also, order of removal of files does seem odd, if neither is required. Was that a contrived example or an actual example? If the latter, that seems like a really badly behaved application, from the outside.
