Well, package dependency is a transitive relation (in fact,
it's even a transitive closure). So if you ask for the list
of dependencies for a package, you'll get a list of _all_
packages required to run it, which also includes indirect
dependencies, because these are required, too, of course.
I don't think it's confusing. It would be confusig if it
worked in a different way.
