I'm using alpm_pkg_get_reason of target->remove for upgrade and
removal (because it is the obvious choice for removal, and in case of
upgrade, I see that target->remove is correctly tagged).

Indeed, I'll mail an updated patch now.

In my first patch, I proposed putting in bold the name of explicitly
installed packages. This patch put in grey the name of "dependencies".
Which one should we keep ?
