Given the command `build-rdeps python3-pygments`, without package dose-extra installed, I get a warning

  WARNING: dose-extra >= 4.0 is not installed. Falling back to old unreliable 
behaviour.

and it produces a reasonable 73 packages as output.

With dose-extra installed, the same command produces 1,748(!) packages, which cannot be true.

Most of them build-depend on python3-sphinx, which depends on python3-pygments.

In my experience, you almost always want --old.
