Why don't we just do the correct thing:

If package A depends on package B, and B depends on C, then A might
depend on C explicitly because it accesses C directly. Or it might only
depend on indirectly C because B accesses C. We should reflect that in
dependencies (in the first case, A depends on C, in the second case it
doesn't).

The result is this: Whenever the dependencies of B change (e.g., C is
removed), A will still work correctly.
