Excellent!

(Out of nerdy curiousity because we sometimes drive rebuilds of [generally
much smaller] subsets, where is the code that "walks" the dependency graph?
Is that in libapt by chance [as I happen to have a package getting from R to
libapt via Rcpp] or is it another tool I could milk for this? [ We also have
something a decade old in the cran2deb repo but that is another story ... ]
