A good idea. Perhaps we should have a tool in the archive to do this
for us? Is there a tool to list the reverse depends of a package? (I
know it can be done with one-liners, but it would be more convinient
if it was a working tool available for everyone to use. :)
It would also be nice if the reverse depends showed up on the pakcage
pages on <URL:http://packages.qa.debian.org/>. This way I would have
a better idea of who the users of my package are. :)
