This won't tell you exactly what got installed as dependencies, but
will help you along the way if no one else has an easier way:
rpm -q --requires ekiga

This will show you packages, files, and version dependencies for the
package. It's not something you can script, but you can look at that
output, and roughly figure out what else was installed so you can
remove it.
