I expect more spam now. :-P

Yes, there is no dependency information, because this particular data
structure is retrieved directly from the fields in the MySQL tables.
The dependency information is currently only present in the serialized
data (a binary blob). To get the full information, you need to
retrieve the full deserialized package stats. The URL fragment regex
matcher is:

/rest/srv4/([0-9a-f]{32})/pkg-stats/

I updated the wiki: the page to look at is http://buildfarm.opencsw.org/pkgdb/

It has a link to the URL definitions.
