Makes sense. Any reason why you wouldn't ever want to do this? I can
think of one such scenario, not sure if it is handled or not.

Installed:
pkg1 (explicit)
pkg2 (as dep)

To be installed:
pkg1 (replaces pkg2 because it includes its functionality)

pkg1 should stay explicit.

Along the same lines, if the reasons were reversed, we should still
stay explicit, no?
