Steps to reproduce

  docker run -it --rm debian:jessie bash # or use a plain VM where you don't care about its data too much
  apt-get update && apt-get -y install wget
  wget -O broken-deps-backports.sh https://people.debian.org/~mika/broken_backports/broken-deps-backports.sh
  bash ./broken-deps-backports.sh # requires root perms

Resulting log files can be found in /results (or "$RESULT_DIR" iff set).
By default it runs the check for jessie-backports, execute "RELEASE=wheezy bash ./broken-deps-backports.sh" to run the check for wheezy-backports.
