That's besides the point.  I have packages installed which I would
consider "leaves" because they provide something I don't need.  Making a
package that requires others doesn't get rid of unneeded things even if
it prevents packages from being considered "leaves" by the package
management.

Then the dependencies are broken.  You would have to make a package that
sets them right.
