I support that also. The problem is that the info desired:
(whether or not a package was installed explicitly
or in response to a dependency)
cannot be obtained without tracking it using the tool that actually
did the package selection (apt) and setting a flag for each package
that is installed on the system.

It should only be an option to automate it.
