+                    # sources which depend on item or are depended on by item
+                        # binNMUs which depend on item
+                        # binNMUs which item depends on

Hmmm.  These are a tad misleading.  The first is really "excuses which
depend on item or are depended upon by item", with the others being
intended to catch cases where the package being depended upon is a
binNMU; the way that excuses are generated means that either of these
forms are possible:

foo Depends: bar
foo/amd64 Depends: bar

but "foo[/amd64] Depends: bar/amd64" will never be output.  With that in
mind, I suspect we could drop the middle of the above three steps.  I
think I've found a data set which is more useful for testing, but the
run looks like it's going to take ages, and I should sleep...

Regards,

Adam
