The idea of a package like this was born from having gotten security vulnerability reports about production dependencies (shipped into production) which turned out to not not even be in use.

The goal would be to be able to run this tool in CI, which will catch cases where the developer forgets to remove unused dependencies. An example of such a case could be when doing refactorings.
