Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

While working towards removing the libgirepository1.0-dev package, I 
tried running this command on coccia to preview what would be broken by 
its removal:

    dak rm -R -n -b libgirepository1.0-dev

(Do I understand correctly that this is the same command the ftp team 
would run when the time comes to actually remove a binary package, but 
without -n, running against the real archive rather than a DD-accessible 
mirror, and with extra options to close bugs etc.?)

As I expected, this flagged packages with a Depends or Build-Depends on 
libgirepository1.0-dev. However, I also expected it to report packages 
like libreoffice that have only a Build-Depends-Arch on it, or packages 
like wpewebkit that have only a Build-Depends-Indep, and it did not 
mention those in its output.

Is this working as intended?

Thanks,
