'apt-cache rdepends finger' gives me the following:

finger
Reverse Depends:
  fingerd
  finger-ldap
  efingerd
  education-common
  lbdb
  gnome-nettool
  acpi-support

So acpi-support depends directly on finger. Then other
things depend directly on acpi-support; all those indirect
dependencies would also be removed if I removed finger.
