For this point, you can create a new layer and inside a new image file. 
This image will basically inherit the one you want, then you need to 
remove the specific recipe. A possible way to remove it is though 
IMAGE_INSTALL_remove = "<pkg to remove">

Dependencies can be found using the '-g' bitbake command line. That 
command produces .dot files, and you can parse these to figure out what 
you want.
