That link provides the list packages affected by the failing package.
Reviewing the list, I can identify the packages affecting my "unrelated" 
package,

A more explicit view of the chain would be helpful of course.
But a link to autoremovals.cgi is better than nothing,
and sufficient for facilitating a manual search of the problem.
