The depends script, and 'qpkg -q' (gentoolkit) both give you this, at least in
as far as you can audit the reverse dependencies of the package you are about
to remove or 'clean'.
I find both useful; they present similar information, but in a different
format. qpkg -q is great for tracing out the reverse depends of a particular
package, while depends is great for getting an overall picture of what
packages are missing their dependencies, if any.
