So, there are 383 packages that share the same, maximum value (in this case 11657) in the second column? > Does anybody see enough value in these numbers for source package importance > in > the light of bootstrapping Debian (either for a new port or for rebuilding the > archive from scratch)? I find the list of 383 packages interesting, at least. I think this closure is what I had in mind[0] for regular testing of ports' toolchains and reproducibility of builds. Because each Debian port depends in some indirect way on the authenticity of these packages. And likewise any toolchain bugs are most critical here. I just didn't think there would be so many packages. Does the list vary by architecture? I see many odd things in here such as 'systemd' and 'redhat-cluster' which would be unavailable if trying to bootstrap a non-Linux port, for example. I also find it interesting to see openjdk-7 listed but not gcj; or even gcc-4.8. Was this computed for jessie or sid?
