Bug#741091: dpkg-depcheck: -m does not seem to work as expected

[Osamu Aoki]

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.14.1
Severity: normal

While I was building libkkc, 

$ fakeroot dpkg-depcheck -m -C -f -catch-alternatives debian/rules install

Produced package list as (aftersorting)
 autotools-dev
  cpio
  debhelper
  gawk
  gobject-introspection
  gvfs:amd64
  intltool
  libc6-i386
  libc6-x32
  libc6:i386
  libfakechroot:amd64
  libfakeroot:amd64
  libgee-dev
  libgirepository-1.0-1
  libgirepository1.0-dev
  libglib2.0-dev
  libjson-glib-dev
  liblocale-gettext-perl
  libmarisa-dev:amd64
  libpython2.7-stdlib:amd64
  mime-support
  perl-modules
  pkg-config
  python-gobject-2
  python-imaging
  python-input-pad
  python-lazr.uri
  python-marisa
  python-repoze.lru
  python-support
  python-zope.interface
  python2.7-minimal
  valac-0.22
  valac-0.22-vapi

Since -m is passed, i expected compact list.

This is strange since valac-0.22 depends on valac-0.22-vapi.
libc6:i386 libc6-x32 libc6-i386 looks strange to me.
python-support depends on python-minimal
python-minimal depends on python2.7-minimal (>= 2.7.5-1~)

So there is something wrong with -m option.
