Use "package-cleanup --leaves --all" to show the full list, not just

I tried it, and it is definitely faster than my find-roots script,
but it shows 623 packages, some of which are obviously providing
dependencies for other things. My script comes up with 244 packages.

I have no clue what is actually being listed by --leaves --all :-).
Well, you will have to write another script to go through
each installed rpm (except those listed as leaves), and
for each rpm invoke
rpm -qR rpmName | egrep -i 'leaf1|leaf2....'
If you see any of the leaves in the output, then
package-cleanup --leaves --all lied :) :)
