Michael is indeed correct.
A careful reading of the man page reveals the usage of the words
"broken" and "using" exactly like he said. So I stand humbly corrected.
I find revdep-rebuild's behavior in this respect confusing. Even though
it is clearly documented it is unexpected. It would never have occurred
to me to draw that distinction.
