Hi Simon,
I intend to NMU apt-rdepends with the attached patch. I really need this
change because I wrote a small script allowing to query the APT database
of another distribution (see chdist - #438971). I'd like to add support
for apt-rdepends in addition to apt-get and apt-cache, but this has to
be fixed first.
Please speak up if you have anything against that NMU.
