Wouldn't that also include "private" dependancies (dependancies in
private methods,...)?

I think it wouldn't be that difficult to use reflection to determine
public+protected dependancies of an object. These "public"
dependancies can't be removed unless you are willing to sacrifice
compliance with standards. But I guess removing private dependancies
would help a lot.
