Here's one example of a thing you could do:

apt-cache() {
    command apt-cache "$@" |
    awk '/^Built-Using:/ {if (length > 80) print "Built-Using: MANY THINGS";
			  else print; next}
	1'
    return "${PIPESTATUS[0]}"
}

And I found some packages to test it with:

    grub-efi-amd64-signed
    libguice-java
    libsisu-guice-java
    hugo

That was almost as tricky as writing the wrapper function.
