I think so, using graphvis ...
apt-cache show debtree


Well, my question was more about tools that run "on the SCM or build servers" (or ways of doing searches against them) - as opposed to downloading the package database via apt.

Actually, I'm a little surprised that there aren't any such tools (or at least any that are relatively visible).
