7 All this says is whether the package was explicitly installed and
8 recorded in world, or is a member of @system. The target package may or
9 may not be a dependency, may or may not have been --oneshot'd.
10
11 It may have been installed as a dependency but the requiring package was
12 removed, or may have been installed as an orphan but is now a
13 dependency. Assuming that if it's not in a set it must be a dependency
14 is incorrect and misleading.
