Calculates the Afferent Coupling for a package. This is a count of the number of other packages that depend on the classes within this package. It is an indicator of the package's responsibility ([1]). This is a package-level metric.
Implemented by the org.gmetrics.metric.coupling.AfferentCouplingMetric class.
The following properties can be configured for this metric within a MetricSet. See Creating a MetricSet for information on the syntax of setting a metric property.

Valid values are: - "value" - the value for the current package - "total" - the total value for the current package and its descendant packages - "average" - the average value for the current package and its descendant packages - "referencedFromPackages" - the list of packages that reference classes within the current package | ["value","average"] |
| ignorePackageNames | The names of packages to ignore when calculating afferent coupling. This pattern string may contain wildcard characters ('*' or '?'); it may also contain more than one pattern, separated by commas. | null |
