Okay, thanks Jan.  :-)  This doesn't achieve what I was hoping for though.

Is there a method to remove a package from GUB so that a rebuild is
triggered only for that package and packages that depend on it?

Let's say I build tools::t1utils, and later want to rebuild
tools::make and all packages that depend on it (make, tar, patch,
t1utils).

>From scratch, I was hoping this would work:

$ bin/gub tools::t1utils
$ bin/gpkg -p tools remove make
$ bin/gub tools::t1utils

but that only reinstalls tools::make.

Thanks,
Patrick
