Not the page in the "how do I create a table in html" sense, but the "logic" in finding out first, second, third, .. "wave". Which is probably what you meant. But when I 'apt-cache show ben' I am no longer sure. So to rephrase: given a package (or set of packages), what computes the ordered set (or "graph" in the dependency sense) of their depends (or build-depends) ?
