The supports file describes the dependency you are talking about. You
could check if that file is zero size. With a root install, the file
would be $autopackage_global_db_location/$ROOTNAME/supports. But as I
am mentioning this, I only see zero size files in my package directory
so I hope that the file is still being written to for dependencies
(within apkg-db).

Everything is keyed off of the English environment file -
$autopackage_global_db_location/$SHORTNAME/environment.en
