The first one is finding all the packages that directly depend on a specific package, even if they're not installed. This came to my mind considering those upgrades which break other software, like x264 and tcl/tk (8.5 has just been released): it could be a lot easier to test if all packages work properly with the new version or if it is necessary to rebuild them.
I wrote a script to do something similar a while ago - it was modified by another dev (maybe Pierre?) and this is the modified version. You can probably run it on the abs tree.
