Well, my point is that identifying such packages is basically useless if
no action is taken. So, at some point, it's a good to think of ways this
data could be used as a basis for QA work.
You might be interested in taking a look at bapase
<http://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/bapase.cgi>. It combines different kind
of data to identify "interesting" packages, and is coupled with a
process to orphan or remove those packages. (work around bapase hasn't
been very active recently, though)
