It looks like "apt-cache --installed depends ." should do what you want.
If it's doing what you want, but for all packages, then that seems like
a bug to me (the --installed parameter says "Limit the output of depends
and rdepends to packages which are currently installed"). Note that
"--installed" only works with 'depends' and 'rdepends'.
