apt-cache rdepends zeroconf will get you the packages which depend on zeroconf. then you can march up the tree a bit with apt-cache rdepends zeroconf | grep -v Depends | xargs apt-cache \ rdepends that gets you a much longer list of things that ultimately depend on zeroconf. for the suggests or recommends, there is surely a way, but I don't know it and my attempts at grepping, cutting and xarging is getting out of hand.
