Yes, I've seen ratt. I tested this morning and it [1] gave me

hille@sid-amd64:~/devel/TeXLive/github$ grep -c sbuild ratt.txt
35174

...to many sbuild commands. I guess "reverse-depends -b texinfo" gives
me a better approximation. However building a few gcc source packages is
far from my hardware resources. I've contacted Lucas and now I am
waiting for reply.
