No. I was just pointing out that removing package B on which package A depends does not make it necessarily "obvious" (as you said) that package A has to be removed as well. Consider for example the latex2html case, where nobody claimed as "obvious" that packages having a build-depends on latex2html should be moved automatically to non-free.
