Any dependencies added by the packages should be removed too. There's no value to keep in the system dead dependencies.

How to Reproduce

@Saphyel I am not sure but if dependency of the listed project is also the dependency of the one which you've not mentioned with uninstall command. Then uninstalling that dependency would break the package functioning of which you don't want to uninstall.

Hello, I think this is a duplicate of #5823.

And also #2635 at this point. The situation is changing a bit with the new resolver and the REQUESTED implementation, but this is not possible until (at least) both of these are implemented.

I’m closing this as a duplicate; we can track this feature in #5823, which contains much more detailed information.
