My bad: I missed that the feature was implemented as purge instead of
ordinary remove. That does provide a useful insight on the underlying
request: if you want to instruct the yum provider to ensure a package
removed along with any other packages that depend on it, then setting
ensure => purged
on the package ought to do the trick. Not that I think it's a good
idea, except possibly in the case to which bug 1739 was addressed,
cyclic dependencies.
Thanks for the clarification.
