Yes, I know, I wrote that Lintian test :) There are also:

https://lintian.debian.org/tags/build-depends-on-obsolete-package.html
https://lintian.debian.org/tags/ored-build-depends-on-obsolete-package.html
https://lintian.debian.org/tags/ored-depends-on-obsolete-package.html

But is there some command line wofoo to get the list of packages? I'd
rather not write a manual html parser to extract the package names..
