Yes, your script counts the dependencies along one direction (rdeps), 
identifying which packages are ready to be de-python2-ised next.

I'm talking about dependencies in the opposite direction, deps not 
rdeps.  Upstream vs downstream.

My question is, of the 844 packages now currently on rdeps=0 and ready 
for processing, which one should be processed first?  Which one will 
free up the largest number of upstream packages?  Which one gives the 
biggest bang for buck?
