       Find  the  reasons  why  source  packages  are  B-D  transitive essential.  Assumes that Architecture:all
       packages need not be bootstrapped.  Operates on the strong dependency graph.

       An optional package name as the last argument limits the output to that package.

       To find out why src:sysvinit is b-d-transitive-essential, run:

        botch-y-u-b-d-transitive-essential amd64 Packages Sources sysvinit

       Edges from installation sets to source packages (builds-from relationships) can be hard to diagnose.  You
       can  use  dose-ceve  to  create a graph that doesn't condense binary packages to their installation sets.
       This has the disadvantage that also non-strong dependencies are also included.

        dose-ceve -G pkg -T dot --deb-native-arch=amd64 --deb-builds-from --deb-drop-b-d-indep deb://Packages debsrc://Sources > graph.dot
