Using option -c requires apt-file.  This should probably grow a 
Recommends: for the package, or at least a Suggests: and a notice in 
long description.

That option -c fails unless mismatching packages are installed.

I suggest to at least mention that constraint in man page, or 
(obviously) avoid that constraint if possible.


Even without the option -c it takes extremely long time for big projects 
- I gave up after a few hours trying this command:

  pkgjs-depends @solid/community-server

Maybe use Progress::Any::Output::TermProgressBarColor to enhance user 
experience?


Maybe processing time could be drastically faster by bypassing apt-file: 
Essentially it does a grep on packaging files, so replacing 1000 calls 
to apt-file which does 1000 calls to grep is likely far more efficiently 
done by loading packaging files once and grepping internally in perl.
