It is all in the Packages file, e.g. ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.bz2 It is a simple text file format and there are parsing libraries for various programming language around. If you are more specific about your goals and needs, I can give more specific advise. > Have you seen similar work before? The researches at IRILL have done lots of work on Package relationsships and also created useful tools to investigate that. I don’t have a good entry page to send you to, but I guess http://www.mancoosi.org/edos/ and http://www.mancoosi.org/ are of relevance.
