Package: reportbug Version: 3.39 Severity: wishlist Because the doesn't seem to be any other simple way to get dependency info for a package in Debian, reportbug should add an option to do so without actually going through the motions of reporting a bug. Here's a python one-liner to do so: PYTHONPATH=/usr/share/reportbug python -c 'import reportbug; \ print reportbug.get_dependency_info("pidgin", reportbug.get_package_status("pidgin")[2]), \ reportbug.get_dependency_info("pidgin", reportbug.get_package_status("pidgin")[3], "recommends")'
