Understanding apt-cache showpkg output (reverse depends)

[Christian Hammers <ch@westend.com>]

Hi

$ apt-cache showpkg libmysqlclient6
Versions: 3.22.30-3(/var/state/apt/lists/ftp.de.debian.org_debian_dists_sid_main_binary-i386_Packages)(/var/lib/dpkg/status),
Reverse Depends: 
  xmysqladmin,libmysqlclient6
  digitaldj,libmysqlclient6
  tcl-sql,libmysqlclient6
  pike7-mysql,libmysqlclient6
  pike-mysql,libmysqlclient6
  phpmyadmin,libmysqlclient6
  mysql-common,libmysqlclient6
  libpam-mysql,libmysqlclient6
  libmysqlclient9-dev,libmysqlclient6
  libmysqlclient6-dev,libmysqlclient6
  libmysqlclient10-dev,libmysqlclient6
...

How shoul I understand this? E.g. mysql-common does NOT depend on the old
libmysqlclient6. Even more it does *replace* this package (partially).

Is there another way to check if any package still depends on a specific 
package/version?

bye,
