1. indirect dependencies should be relied on, otherwise every single
gnome program would have a list of 30+ dependencies, which just isn't
manageable. (I thought we agreed on that before, otherwise we're
missing about a thousand dependencies on X11-LIBS ;)
2. having dispel refuse to dispel spells that others depend on sounds
like a good solution, with a switch --force to override that
behaviour
