Yes, I had even considered making it an option at the time I just couldn't find
a use case where it would be useful to not include dependencies.  Looks like
you provided that...

Another possibility would be to fix the reassembly stuff (or Wireshark in
general) to better detect the duplicates and effectively ignore them (at least
in, for example, TCP and higher); I think there is(are) also bug report(s)
asking for that.  That would probably be a bunch more work though.

Yes, that would work since tshark (normally) makes only one pass through the
file; unfortunately I discovered a while back that enabling 2-pass mode did not
make the frame dependency stuff work (forget why; core dump?).
