> The `target dep` and `target revdep` commands only indicate package names in the dependency graph.  It would be helpful to see what created the dependency in the first place.  Specifically, it would be good to know if the dependency is "hard" (package explicitly depends on another) or "soft" (package requires an API; other package happens to implement that API).  This is useful when trying to completely remove a package from a build.
> Unfortunately, this information is lost at the time dependency graphs are generated.  Rather than use a builder's package map, dependency generation should operate on an intermediate form produced by the `resolve` package.
