See http://www.mail-archive.com/arch-dev-public@archlinux.org/msg08609.html 

I could work on improving that; but at that time my suggestion to create those 
link db files and put them on the mirrors didn't find much support. There was 
also this approach to put those lists into each package itself (see pacman-dev 
for sodeps)

However: I could work on a more robust script and put it into dbscripts and 
let it run on gerolde. A client side script (e.g. in devtools)( could then 
generate rebuild lists. For example something like:

	create-rebuild-list foo-1.1.pkg.tar.gz foo-1.2.tar.xz > rebuild-list.txt
