Be specific. Remove what? The dependencies won't be marked as explicitly
installed. They are going to be removed? They should not.
Don't waste too much time perfecting this.
The right approach is to have pkg_add tag packages that the user really
installed vs. stuff that is needed for dependencies. It's in my queue
of things to do.

I do not. I am aware of the fact that this cannot be merged with the
rest of system the way it is. But if there are any bugs I would like to
fix them.

pkg_dig is a small sh(1) script that extracts useful information from
installed packages. The reason I decided to implement a script like this
was to provide a missing feature of pkg_delete(1). Let me give you an
example:
Let's say we have 2 packages, Y and Z.
Package: Y
Dependencies: A, B, C
Here's a variation on the theme that serves me well.

Thanks.
I noticed duplicates with pkgs that are output by your script, some
dependencies are printed in the 'You may also delete' field too.
There are no duplicates. In the
