[Aptitude-devel] Bug#927853: aptitude: further separate "Packages which depend on ...": required vs first/second/third alternative deps

[Paul Wise]

Package: aptitude
Severity: wishlist

The per-binary-package section called "Packages which depend on ..." is
currently separated on two axes:

 * Type of dependency (Depends/Recommends/etc)
 * Whether or not the dependency is via a virtual package

It would be nice to add another axis:

If the dependency is a required dependency or the 1st/2nd/3rd/etc in a
set of alternative dependencies. This would be useful when tracking
down things that require an obsolete version of a package (like
gnupg1) versus those that depend on the current version or the obsolete
one.
