Alternate idea:
If all of the changes requested on the previous screen are "Uninstall"
(i.e. everything else is "Keep" or "Skip"), invert the current
dependency tree walking logic. That is, have setup.exe find out which
packages must be removed to satisfy the changes requested on the
previous screen.
"Look, buddy, if you remove that package, I gotta remove these 84 other
packages, too: {foo, bar, baz...} Are you really really sure you want
me to do that?"
