A package management question

dpkg --get-selections provides a list of all packages that are currently on a Debian
computer, and
dpkg --set-selections allows one to clone that set onto another computer, or restore
it onto the computer on which it was generated in case of a crash or operator error.
But this list does not contain any information about the dependencies among the packages.
Is there a program that will analyze a list of packages and arrange them into a tree,
or forest (multiple independent trees)? I am curious as to what is the minimum set
of apt-get install terms that are necessary to reproduce my installation (or any
particular installation).
Second question: The dependency relation forms a network on the set of packages. Is this
network a multi-tree, or are there loops within this network?
TIA
