I've given up on filing bug reports because they got closed without
fixing the problem.

We could add an option --verbose to cruft-report that actually runs the
suggested commands with the --no-action option added (but only if the
command is actually doing an rdep check). Everyone could see the details
at <http://ftp-master.debian.org/cruft-report-daily.txt> as soon as we
enable --verbose for the dinstall run. The release team may schedule
binNMUs as needed.
Cheers,
Torsten
