Hi Tim IPS implements package deprecation differently than any other known Packaging system. Packages get deprecated centrally by the Openindiana Developers. There are never locally installed Packages that are not in the Upstream Repository unless you are using beta software from other publishers like userland. Our Development Publisher/Branch. In which case you can do "pkg list | grep userland" to find all package
What you are talking about is when our base requirements change but the old Package is still viable for certain use cases. But maybe not yours and you want to get rid of it. This you will have to do manually We may at some point also obsolete gcc-49 but not now. If we do so IPS will automatically clean your system from any obsoleted packages. What I imagine your search will find are any packages that are not dependant on other packages. Which I am assuming are quite a lot. gnu find coming to my mind. And I doubt you want to remove them all. Sou you would need to filter further. Also you will not find any that have no dependency after the first run. And Lastly you will probably not find consolidations which will prevent you from removing quite a few packages anyway. The best way to get rid of unwanted software is IMHO to look at pkg list manually and remove any you don't want. But unless you are changing a desktop system to a Server system or removing all Development Packages required for userland Packaging your gain in Space will be a few hundred Megabytes at most. We do not have that many packages after all.
