It could be useful to add another column counting the Dependencies in
the other direction.
i.e. for all the leaf packages ready for processing, which one should
be given priority? Which one has the most impact on Dependencies
further down the tree?
I'm afraid i dont understand the question, or maybe it's just a
different process than the one i use.
the main idea (behind the webpage) is that you cant remove a package
unless it doesnt have any reverse-dependency: so if the count it's 0,
you can go ahead and remove it.
if it has rdeps, then you need to address them _first-, and that's
where the rdeps graph comes handy, as it tells you the actual
packages.
