build−rdeps − find packages that depend on a specific package to build (reverse build depends)

build-rdeps searches for all packages that build-depend on the specified package.
−u −−update

Ignore contrib and non-free
−−exclude−component
Ignore the given component (e.g. main, contrib, non-free).
−−origin
Restrict the search to only the specified origin (such as "Debian").
−m −−print−maintainer
Print the value of the maintainer field for each package.
−d −−debug
Run the debug mode
−−help

−−version
Show the version information.
The tool requires apt Sources files to be around for the checked components. In the default case this means that in /var/lib/apt/lists files need to be around for main, contrib and non-free.
In practice this means one needs to add one deb-src line for each component, e.g.
deb-src http://<mirror>/debian <dist> main contrib non-free
and run apt-get update afterwards or use the update option of this tool.
