Oh my, that doesn't sound like a very efficient way to solve this
problem.  Consider the churn for each package update as well as the time
each search would take.

Luckily all source has been indexed and may be queried from a database:

  https://codesearch.debian.net/

To the best of my knowledge that's the closest thing we have to an
"apt-file search meta.yaml" for source packages.

Also, if an exhaustive/complete test isn't required, couldn't some
criteria for a representative sample be established?  Then you could
sample a subset of the available meta.yaml files.

Cheers,
Nicholas
