I am trying to clean my installation up a bit, so I decided to clean up my packages a bit. However, I'm having trouble with that: My wish is to make apt-get
list all packages installed by me. If I list every package, I also see the dependencies of my packages although I am not interested in those. For example, I want to see that I installed lightyears
but I do not want to see the packages installed alongside, like python-numpy or python-pygame
. Is there a way to do this?

It's a quick hack, but this gets me very close:
You'll have to look up the package manifest for your version of Ubuntu from the releases server.
This method still returns a few packages that were selected via the Language Support installation prompt and the install third-party software checkbox, but depending on your needs it might be good enough.
