Something like the following should already work:
$ aptitude install \
'?narrow(?narrow(~Gculture::valarin,?reverse-Recommends(~i)),!~i)'
Although of course it's not very user friendly, and it would need to
expanded to cover virtual packages for example. But I guess it could
be wrapped in some kind of l10n support helper. Or the packaging
frontends could be extended to support this with an easier to use
term.
