Package: dpkg
Version: 1.16.1.2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

it would be nice if dpkg-query could show the source package and source
version for a binary, for example for use in the Built-Using field:

  Built-Using: foo-source (= 1.2)

Maybe something like

  dpkg-query -f='${show:Source-Package} (= ${show:Source-Version})' -W 
foo-binary

or even a special virtual field with the correct value for Built-Using
could be implemented?

Regards,
Ansgar
