That doesn't make sense.  How could you predict which packages will 
depend on yours?

Perhaps you mean something different by "reverse dependency".  The 
standard definition is that if B depends on A, then A is a dependency of 
B, and B is a reverse dependency of A.

yes, reverse dependency. All the reverse dependancies on the main web page of
the packages are generated by CRAN?
Thanks
