> Since most dependencies of busybox' are there to guarantee that busybox'
> does not install applets that are already provided by other packages,
> they are not really functional dependencies, and mostly clutter the
> dependency graph.
> 
> Only the dependencies on libraries are interested, so that is all we
> keep.
> 
> Even though that function is only called with pkg set to 'busybox', we
> still pass it as an argument, for symetry with the other functions that
> removes the dependencies of a package.
