Hi Reuben Thomas,

If you mean depends and rdepends here - these are not
limited to (Pre-)Depends per default -- only with --important they are.
So rdepends should do what you want, doesn't it?
Or did i misunderstand you here completely?

I don't think it is a good idea to extend the "search" this way,
search is by design limited as all apt commands are in some way.
Low dependency count comes with a cost at some point,
but we have a lot of tools out there much better than this simple
search, e.g have a look at axi-cache in apt-xapian-index.


Best regards,

David Kalnischkies
