Imho it should just go out. pkgfs is not a package manager, and handling the deletion of dependencies or not is the job of a package manager.

The interesting point is what're the usual defaults. Under pacman, you have to specify a flag to ensure you didn't leave orphans. How does apt behave? How does yum? Zypper?

apt/yum have a similar flag to remove orphans too, but you can also just run a command later to do so.

But yeah, I got what you mean. To think about.

Somewhen we thought about a /pkg/orphans/ directory. It could be cool for this and other reasons as well.
