i agree with you that we need to do some data filtering here. OTOH this
intends to be an "amazon"like feature, where not every package needs to
stand in any relation to the other package. What needs to be done is
some filtering, so not every package lists libfoo or bar-common, but i
guess Enrico has already done so.
Perhaps you can give some idea on how you would implement a better
filtering.
Greetings
Martin
PS: I would really like to see that feature on packages.debian.org :)
