I would start by looking at what files are included. There’s the obvious .desktop entry, but also checking if there are any files put into /bin/, /usr/bin/, /usr/sbin/ etc. should suffice.
If you consider some of these packages as “dependencies” then look at if anything depends on it. But there are application-packages that others depend on, such as coreutils.
I meant for all packages. But when it comes to the actual details on how to do it, I’m not super sure. I know pacman is pretty sophisticated so it might support querying the package repo (or local package db) somehow. I would start by looking up the -F option.
