Getting back on topic: debcheck can give an overview of the impact.
As of the time of writing, debcheck reports:
Type of Issue ANY EVERY alpha amd64 arm armel hppa i386 ia64 mips mipsel powerpc s390 sparc
BuildDepends 367 72 135 91 126 312 133 78 119 132 133 96 114 98
BD(main only) 340 68 114 83 104 288 112 74 99 114 115 78 95 79
Most of the EVERY packages build depend on debhelper (>=7), but don't
have an exact number right now.
For the last few hours I've been trying to add Sources-files support to edos-debcheck,
but seems like I got something wrong and now I broke it (doesn't report broken relationships).
I wrote a small shell script[1] which takes a --input argument with a Sources file name,
stripping down, expanding, and doing a second strip down, on the contents of Sources.
The resulting minimised Sources is meant to be seeded to the modified edos-debcheck
(the only changes e-dc needs is checking for B-{D,C}{,-I}).
But like I said, somehow I broke edos-dc with my changes, so my script is useless for now.
