Description
It would be nice if the firmware package selector allowed me to list only the packages that are not a dependency of any other package. This would allow me to disregard dependency level package changes like what happened with the move from libustream-wolfssl to libustream-mbedtls. I would assume it would also cut down on the "Error Building Firmware Image" reports that I see on this issues page.

Research direction
The issue does not name files or tests; start by tracing how the firmware package selector obtains and displays package dependency information. Define the top-level package set as packages that are not dependencies of another listed package, then verify that dependency-only changes no longer appear in the selector.
