Well, except you only really want to do it for libraries that are ma:same, as that's the only case where it actually matters and otherwise you're pointlessly losing versions.
It's also not quite that simple, even working things out by hand - see #599128 for example.
Where’s the source code to that tool?
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-release/release-tools.git/ (in scripts/).
