Someone more expert will be along in a minute, but it does seem to be
deprecated.

reprepro has the need-building option which may do what you want in
terms of telling you what has source in reprepro, but no corresponding
binaries.
I've been using that instead of quinn-diff to scheule reprepro builds
with good results. It's not very flexible, and rebuildd could do with
being able to understand reprepro output directly (I plan to add this
when I get a mo - it's not hard), but it works.
There are some other useful tools too I found when enquiring about
this a few monhts ago (Roger has some good things coming down the line in the
not-too-distant), but this seemed the easiest setup to actually
use now.
