Is it even possible to "forcibly remove a package" in all cases? What is
when a 3rd party package requires the orphan? There would be broken deps
in the transaction test, and the upgrade to the garbage-collector pkg
would fail until the 3rd party repo adapts the orphan and updates it.

In a similar way, not removing orphans results in brokens deps, too.

Are mandatory "release notes", which contain a list of orphans and hints
on how to clean up a system prior to a dist-upgrade, the way to go?
