One of the (many) things it does is counting packages referenced in
multiple groups. You're counting files referenced in multiple packages.
Same kind of processing, really.

It's awfully similar to yours, only the object names change:

  ☹ Package fonts-ISO8859-2-75dpi is referenced in 10 groups:
     ✓ conditional package in group Bulgarian Support (bulgarian-support)
     ✓ conditional package in group Croatian Support (croatian-support)
     ✓ conditional package in group Czech Support (czech-support)
     ✓ conditional package in group Estonian Support (estonian-support)
     ✓ conditional package in group Hungarian Support (hungarian-support)
     ✓ conditional package in group Polish Support (polish-support)
     ✓ conditional package in group Romanian Support (romanian-support)
     ✓ conditional package in group Serbian Support (serbian-support)
     ✓ conditional package in group Slovak Support (slovak-support)
     ✓ conditional package in group Slovenian Support (slovenian-support)
  ☹ Package emacs is referenced in 2 groups:
     ✓ optional package in group Editors (editors)
     ✓ mandatory package in group Emacs (emacs)
  ☹ Package lv is referenced in 3 groups:
     ✓ default package in group Chinese Support (chinese-support)
     ✓ default package in group Japanese Support (japanese-support)
     ✓ default package in group Korean Support (korean-support)
