I have a script I've been using to check my packages this way. It's not perfect, it assumes that every C++-using-package should have the most recent GCC: field, when in fact some packages may have a good reason to use an old one. But aside from that, I think it's useful.

It's sitting in experimental/vasi/scripts/gcc-field. You can invoke it like this:

gcc-field -m maintainer-regex
gcc-field package1 package2
dpkg -L | gcc-field -


Hope it's useful (and mostly correct).
