Yes, good script and speed but some corrections are needed:

cat /var/lib/dpkg/available | grep -E "^Depends: .*\<${1}\>[^-]" -B 9 | 
grep -E "^Package: "


\<${1}\> to take package name as a word
[^-] because '-' is a separator for grep and can be included in package 
name
-B 9 because -B 7 is to small. Some packages have the 'Recommends' section.
