Description
Using pkgman resolve-dependencies outputs a flattened list of all dependencies. This makes it impossible to utilize in order to figure out the dependency relationship that results in a particular package being resolved.
Add an option to output the dependency relationship as a tree, map or similar.
This came up when trying to figure out why Kate (a text editor) resolves a lot of dependencies that are not needed, such as audio- and video codecs.

PulkoMandy added a script to draw dependency graphs in hrev57477, which does something like what this is asking for, at least.
