Unfortunately, it doesn't. The problem is not dependencies, but the
"Any Unit" and "Unit Type" variants of unitdestroyed which simply cannot
be dumped when a unit gets removed.

Suppose the goal of P1 is to kill all enemy infantrymen while P2 needs
to get one of his infantry units somewhere important. Also assume that
this vital unit is the last infantry he's left. When it reaches its
destination and gets removed, who gets the points? Both, P1 because
P2 has no infantry left, or P2 because he delivered the unit?
