You can get such a list using aptitude:
aptitude search '?reverse-depends(liferea)?architecture(amd64)' -F"%p%V"
This will show reverse-depends of liferea on amd64 (If I skip the
architecture it will list both i386 and amd64, more or less just
doubling the list).
The options for the -F setting can be found at [1], and the options for
the search (like reverse-depends and architecture) can be found at [2].
As you can see the amount of options and possibilities to customize
such a search are simply _massive_.
