I didn't know dpkg-scanpackages until now. I've took a look at its manpages 
and it seems it does a work similar to what our script should do. In order to 
make it clear what I have in mind, I give an example, where dewmaster is the 
name of our script

jul...@ww...:~/debs$ ls
wine-0.9.10-2.deb

jul...@ww...:~/debs$ dewmaster --interactive
Gimme deb package file plz: wine-0.9*
Do u want to include sources.list stuff in XML? y
Gimme comma separated sources plz: deb http://...
D'ya need preferences by any chance? n
Designed for? Sid
Output file name? wine.dwai
That's all, building wine.dwai XML file.
Extracting dependecies from wine-0.9.10-2.deb... done.
Your dwai file is ready. You probably want to move it under /var/www

jul...@ww...:~/debs$ su -c mv wine.dwai /var/www/download/dew/

Needless to say, dewmaster script must be able to work also in non interactive 
batch mode, taking all the input from a configuration file and/or command 
line. Now the question is: what should we use to write the dewmaster script?
