Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubuntu-dev-tools

There is a script in ubuntu-dev-tools called 'reverse-build-depends'. Sometimes we have to look for Depends fields. Now we can use command:
$ apt-cache rdepends
However, above command doesn't show division by component: main, universe etc. Would be nice to have also similiar script as reverse-build-depends.

---------------
ubuntu-dev-tools (0.135) unstable; urgency=low

  * grab-merge: Use wget -nv rather than -q, so that we see error messages
    (LP: #881967)
  * requestsync: Make --lp the default.
  * submittodebian: Use prettier patch filenames (LP: #887333)
  * mk-sbuild:
    -Allow creating experimental chroots again (LP: #885499)
    - experimental shouldn't be the default in experimental chroots.
    - Add --eatmydata flag (LP: #888440)
  * pbuilder-dist:
    - Support using non-master mirrors. Thanks Mathieu Parent. (LP: #824285)
    - Enable non-release pockets by default (LP: #781003)
  * New scripts:
    - reverse-depends: Replaces reverse-build-depends. Uses an UbuntuWire
      webservice for determining all reverse(-build)-dependencies for a
      package. (LP: #696373)
    - requestbackport: Files a backport request bug report, including a full
      testing checklist.
  * Don't allow boilerplate prompts through in submittodebian and requestsync
    (LP: #887336)
  * Add changelog retrieval to lpapicache, and use this in syncpackage and
    requestsync. The changelogs should be available in Launchpad sooner than
    Debian PTS.
