Okay. I don't think that the command line has anything to do with 
packaging.pypi and dependency management tools.
One is dealing with the hole cli for different tings (install / remove / 
search etc.) while the other one is only how to communicate with the 
indexes and build dependency graphs from there.

We probably should put the cli part in a separate PEP, as the scopes 
aren't the same that the ones I see for packaging.pypi / depgraph

Thanks for the pointers, will read them and try to come back with a PEP 
proposal.
