There are some examples at the bottom of the report, the general usage
is as follows:

# setup
cd /path/to/gar/v2
export PYTHONPATH=$PWD
# work
./lib/python/safe_remove_package.py \
--os-releases=SunOS5.9,SunOS5.10,SunOS5.11 -c <catalogname>

The script will only remove a package when it has no reverse dependencies.
