Eya, thanks for this, very cool indeed.

Is the code you used to detect this available somewhere? I wonder mainly
how did you check if the packages are metapackages/transitional. If it
is something you consider reliable, it would be worth to turn your code
into a lintian check, so that we avoid in the future re-introducing this
kind of bugs.

Cheers.
