I understand this only locates packages on $ARCH you use? other arches 
may have other packages linked against the broken libart package.
In any case, you would want to list the source packages, the current listing
will give (if I read it correctly) binary packages.

Isn't broken build env a use case of binNMU[1] ? However, as most packages 
depending on libart are huge, it might be worth bugging the maintainer, if 
there is a new upload coming soon anyway.
