I'm afraid i dont understand the question, or maybe it's just a
different process than the one i use.

the main idea (behind the webpage) is that you cant remove a package
unless it doesnt have any reverse-dependency: so if the count it's 0,
you can go ahead and remove it.

if it has rdeps, then you need to address them _first-, and that's
where the rdeps graph comes handy, as it tells you the actual
packages.

but what i personally use is a level 4 graph (so up to 4 levels of
reverse depends): say you want to work on pkgA, but it turns out it
has some rdeps, pkg0..8; now, how many rdeps does each of these
packages have? hard to say with only a level=1 graph, as you dont see
further in the deps tree

(the risk it get crazy pretty quickly, in particular with sci
packages, as currently all debian-science tasks packages depend on the
py2 pkgs, if one of them gets pulled in it's hard to read).

Let me know if i can make the webpage more useful for you, i just dont
know how to address your request
