I do not think will work very well. Where do you set the dependency threshold for end-user packages? 0? Then you'll probably miss all packages that support plugins (e.g. sylpheed-claws, ion3, ..). More? Then you'll probably get lots of false positives. The reverse dependency count just isn't a very good metric for "is an end-user package". I think it's also a job for debtags or something like it, to tell us what is an end-user package and what isn't. Cheers, Christian Aichinger
