I can see why it works sort of but no I am not about to try it.

I guess if you want to look at it that way, a package dependency calculator is just a simplistic constraint-based programming language. I think this is a cool testament to the debian package system that it is powerful enough to do it. Incidentally, it also shows that sudoku is not a computationally hard (i.e. "interesting") problem.
