No, it is as modern package managers work. Also 'port' in MacPorts has 
similar options (they call these packages 'requested'). For example, on 
OSX I have installed only 21 (chosen by me, i.e. *requested*), but the 
total number of package installed (as a result of dependencies) is 254. 
In principle reinstalling the 21 packages should reinstall all the 254 
but sometimes the dependencies change. Having a less package to 
reinstall makes simpler to follow the process of 
installation/re-installation.

I think Cygwin has this (maybe I read this on the list) but I don't 
remember, exactly, the command.. :-(

In any case, Happy New Year.

Ciao,
  Angelo.
