I guess the idea is to get a minimal list of packages the user wants to
install on other computers. Excluding dependencies makes the list much
shorter and more human-readable, plus it is more future-proof if
dependencies change: only install the wanted application, and all its
dependencies.

But one could ask for all installed packages that are neither a
dependency of ubuntu-desktop nor automatically installed. Since this tag
already exists (used by e.g. apt-get autoremove), it can really help
here.
