Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : debtree
  Version         : 0.7.1
  Upstream Author : Frans Pop <elendil@planet.nl>
* URL             : http://alioth.debian.org/~fjp/debtree/
* License         : GPL
  Programming Lang: shell script
  Description     : Show relationships between packages (.deb)

debtree has two functions:
* show the dependency path(s) between two packages
* create a dependency graph for a package

In the first case it shows through which dependencies a package pulls in
another package when it is installed.

In the second case it generates a dependency graph in the form of a .dot
file that can be used as input for the utility 'dot' from the graphviz
package. What information is included in a graph can be varied using
command line options.
