If package A depends on package B, B must be installed before A and removed 
after it, but when there are more than 2 packages involved, there is not 
necessarily only one possible ordering (if B and C depend on A, then B,C,A and 
C,B,A are acceptable removal orderings).

pkgrm takes care of that anyway : if you try to pkgrm a package needed by 
another one, it will ask for confirmation. When this happens, I cancel the 
removal and retry with the list of (remaining) packages in an adequate order, 
although it may not matter if you do intend to remove all the interdependent 
packages anyway.
