We could have a heuristic in which we look for packages named lib*
that have no reverse dependencies. Something like this:

http://buildfarm.opencsw.org/obsolete-pkgs/stale-packages.html#could-be-dropped

If anyone wants to code it up, here's an existing script which
generates the page linked above:
https://buildfarm.opencsw.org/source/xref/opencsw/csw/mgar/gar/v2/lib/python/stale_packages_report.py

The file has 168 lines, but over half of them are a HTML template. The
main code (single function) has 30 lines.
