Well, this is so rare as you said (AFAIK no real example yet) that you 
can simply ignore it (I just put that comment there to remember us). 
I've chosen this solution because this is not broken imho (the same 
function does the requiredby add/remove) and this wouldn't worth the 
O(number of requiredby entries) check for all inserting.
Anyway, in the late future (pacman4 ;-) we should optimize the 
dependency storing...
Bye, ngaba
