The equery d <dependency_package> command doesn't do what you need it to do?

Sort of, it shows me every package with every use flag that would pull in something. Then I had to look at every one of those packages and their use flags manually to see if they actually pulled it in.
It just doesn't feel like the "Gentoo-way" of doing things.

emerge --pretend --verbose --depclean dependency-you-wish-to-remove will either pretend to remove the listed package(s) or it will explain which packages require you to keep the listed package(s).
