Ah, then, how about treat `-l' option same as `-s'.
 -s (strict) option  check unsafe_depends_strict=YES
 none (default) mode check unsafe_depends=YES
 -l (loose) option   check unsafe_depends_loose=YES

Then user will be able to do `pkg_rolling-replace -ul' to update pakage with 
loose way.
It will be improved after `make replace' will be changed to set 
unsafe_depends_loose=YES
correctly, i.e. `pkg_rolling-replace -l' will be usable.
