I've done further checking on etch, and can't seem to find any
libexpat.so.0 references either. I've uploaded my scripts to
http://fushizen.net/needed-search.tbz2 in case I'm missing something;
usage is basically (with the scripts in $PATH):

for i in `apt-cache rdepends libexpat1|grep '^  '`; do
  sh ../pkg-needed.sh $i
done | tee ../result.txt

The scripts are a bit hacky, but they should get the job done.
