Thank you Stefan, good solution.
I have found the Snapshot <https://ctan.org/pkg/snapshot?lang=en> package
to be excellent for this too. If you put
\RequirePackage{snapshot}
as the first line in your TeX file, you'll get a nicely formatted file
<jobname>.dep with all the dependencies.
Even better, if you then use bundledoc <https://ctan.org/pkg/bundledoc>, it
will read your snapshot file and create a zip file containing all the files
used to make a particular document. Valuable for archiving.
Best,
Dominik
