But these are also packages wich depend implicitely on libvorbis0,
right?

For example:
blackbird:~/tum/tum/ac1/report$ apt-cache show race | grep Depends
Depends: race-data (>= 0.7.0-5), clanlib2 (>= 0.6.2-1), clanlib2-gl (>=
0.6.2-1), clanlib2-gui (>= 0.6.2-1), clanlib2-jpeg (>= 0.6.2-1),
clanlib2-png (>= 0.6.2-1), clanlib2-sound (>= 0.6.2-1), clanlib2-vorbis
(>= 0.6.2-1), libc6 (>= 2.2.5-13), libpng3, libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 (>=
1:2.95.4-0.010810), xlibmesa3 | libgl1, zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4)

clanlib2-vorbis probably depends on libvorbis0.

I guess wo only have to rebuild first-level dependencies, or am I
mistaken?
