That's on the libzypp TODO list for the next release. libzypp currently parses the /var/log/zypp/history file to get this information, which is slow (as the file gets bigger and bigger) and you can't easily change the state. The code will be changed to write the "reason" information for the installed packages into a separate file.

Also, the rpm upstream guys are working on adding code to store this information into a database controlled by rpm.
