The package name and the origin of a dependency are listed in
+CONTENTS, and this can be parsed very easy with awk. When they are
already in the right order in +CONTENTS, then it is a nobrainer to
write a script.

Tell me what you want (syntax of the output) and I try to get time to
write a short awk script. You can incorporate it then.
