When you want to see which ports you _could_ remove, that aren't
depended on by anything else.
There are times when you may have installed a port as a trial and no
longer need it to be installed.
In this case, it may simply be better to include an option for leaves
which doesn't exclude the requested ports (possibly also marking those
that were or weren't specifically requested).
