Ok, I try to use this analogy. You want to install okular with package
manager. Package manager installs it and it's deps, and then remove it,
beacuse you don't use KDE (%

Yes, actually unit will be started, but immediate stopping doesn't make
this transaction usable. (Btw it eats CPU cycles)

Other problem is, that StopWhenUnneeded= is only one way to have units
autoclean, but you cannot fully use it, because of this side effect. 

For example, I use this patch to have firefox, skype, dropbox etc
autoclean when offline, but I want to have the way start such unit when I
need it.

We already have Requisite= to prevent starting units in transaction-less
maner, and RefuseManualStart= to prevent starting units by manual
transactions. 

And according to the manual, there is no any prerequisites to say, that
units will be stopped when StopWhenUnneeded=yes and  when I, the user, Needing in it.
