Hi Ben,
It's good to see work being done on this. Have you taken into account
http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-devel-9901/msg00817.html
where Lars mentioned that we needed two different types of source depends?
I guess looking for *sources* themselves is more difficult than seeing if
a needed binary package is installed.
Thanks,
Brandon
