meta script mentioned above now takes packages from experimental if 
build depends is satisfied only with versions from experimental. So 
with a properly specified build depends, just calling build script is 
enough for rebuilding reverse build dependencies (though that does not 
yet work for autopkgtest, I want to do that some time soon, if someone 
wants to try that before me that would be good too).
