[Bug 1844645] [NEW] feature request: list certain subsets of installed packages

[Jarno Suni]

Public bug reported:

Currently 'apt list' can list
--installed
--manual-installed
--upgradeable
packages, but it would be nice, if it could list
--auto-installed
--auto-removable
--local
These can be listed by grepping the output of 'apt list --installed' but having direct options would be more user friendly and can you trust the output format to retain anyway?
