Bug#199716: python-apt: support for source packages would be nice

[Jochen Voss <voss@debian.org>]

Package: python-apt
Version: 0.5.5.1
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

it would be useful if python-apt would be able to browse source
package records, e.g. to determine BuildDepends.  This would require
wrappers around the methods and classes from <apt-pkg/srcrecords.h>.
Maybe somebody has the knowledge and time to implement this.

Jochen
