If I exclude group IDs with excludeGroupIds I would expect that the transitive dependencies only reachable through the excluded dependencies would not be included

Research direction
Start by locating the unpack-dependencies handling for excludeGroupIds and reproduce the issue with a dependency graph containing excluded dependencies and their transitives. Trace how exclusions affect traversal; done means dependencies reachable only through excluded group IDs are absent from the unpacked output, with regression coverage for that case.
