If its dependant is removed, it will stop working anyway -- so why is it a
bug to remove it?

I think we should warn when this happens (if it happens silently, thats bad
experience), or better yet prompt for input to confirm removal, but I'm not
sure what it would mean to just leave pluginA installed when its dependant
is removed, regardless of if each plugin was explicitly installed.
