Description-en: recursively lists package dependencies
This utility can recursively list package dependencies, either forwards
or in reverse. It also lists forward build-dependencies. The output
format closely resembles that of `apt-cache depends`. As well, it can
generate .dot graphs, much like apt-cache in dotty mode.
