This is a 2 lignes patch which I can do, which option is prefered ?
(I would go for keeping --show-duplicates)

Should I try to look into this ?
I would replace --recursive by something like --level=[1|2|3|...|all] 
(keeping --recursive for compatility)

We would then have:
--requires/provides/conflicts --level=2 --output=tree --type=[dot|ascii]

Would this be fine ? Or should we remove --type and just play with
--output=[ascii-tree|dot-tree] ?
