It looks like there's no binary package in sid/main on i386 which has NEEDED
libexpat.so.0 in its dynamic section. I haven't checked other
architectures. OTOH, there's only 87 packages which build-depend
directly on libexpat-dev or libexpat1-dev, rather than the several
thousand I thought before (I was using apt-rdepend incorrectly).
