Good point. Maybe I add
	tlmgr show --full something
which will also show the dependencies (which will mean the included
packages) and the execute statements.

And no, a package can only belong to ONE collection, but to different
schemes.

Ok, so *one* function of tlmgr is documented up to 90%. Guess we can
manage that, and still we will change it.

Best wishes
