NAME

(reverse build depends)

REQUIREMENTS
The tool requires apt Sources files to be around for the checked
components. In the default case this means that in /var/lib/apt/lists
files need to be around for main, contrib and non-free.
In practice this means one needs to add one deb-src line for each
component, e.g.
deb-src http://<mirror>/debian <dist> main contrib non-free
and run apt-get update afterwards or use the update option of this
tool.
