Not the page in the "how do I create a table in html" sense, but the "logic"
in finding out first, second, third, .. "wave". Which is probably what you
meant. But when I 'apt-cache show ben' I am no longer sure.
So to rephrase: given a package (or set of packages), what computes the
ordered set (or "graph" in the dependency sense) of their depends (or
build-depends) ?
