rev-upgrade and checking for +universal dependencies (and build dependencies)

Hi,

It seems it isn't possible to use rev-upgrade to verify what installed binaries actually depend on the universal variant of their (known) dependencies, correct?

I've been trying to figure out if there's a reason I'm finding myself with a python27+universal and fear it might just be because of a build dependency of an unknown other port.

As a side-note: if there's no intent to implement a architecture-independent version of depends_build, maybe we could get a depends_configure which would inherently not need to pass on +universal? Not that installs_lib is useless, but evidently it cannot be used for complex ports like python which do in fact also install public libraries.
