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?"
