Thanks for explaining. Still this task is quite different from the task
dedup.d.n is solving, since it requires to look at one package instead
of looking at one architecture (+ all). Adding support for this to
dedup.d.n would vastly increase resource usage beyond the currently
available hardware. In addition the scalability issues differ, since the
number of architectures is comparatively small to the number of
packages. Maybe a different tool can solve these two useful tasks you
proposed?
