I just wrote something very similar: a small Perl script based on "sgrep"
to list all packages depending on a specific package (recursively).
Here is an example output:
cpp
gcc
iconc
intercal
gpc
gpc
checker
libc6-dev
libc6-pic
libg++272-dev
ncurses3.4-dev
This means: gcc depends on cpp, iconc depends on gcc, etc.
This is useful if one wants to know how easily a specific package can be
removed.
If someone else should be intrested in this I could make it available.
Perhaps we should package up all those little scripts in a package
(debianutils, pkg-order, or something else).
Thanks,
Chris
