This is the normal behaviour of the rpm dependancies schema: A requires is only the way to deny installation of a package without installing another package: A req B, so you can install B alone, but you can install A only if you install B. As B can be installed alone, nothing can inform rpm that uninstalling A should remove B. A nice idea would be to ask to user in urpmi/smart/any rpm frontend "Hey, nothing require A anymore, do you want to remove it". But this has a big problem, lot of application are requires only by one or two packages. Let imagine scenario: you remove magic-compression-tools requiring tar, gzip, bzip2... the tools will ask you if you want to remove each of this tools: of course no ! (this example is bad a everybody know this tools are required by many other packages). So well, uninstalling first does not remove bind, and there is no way to do this currently.
