Poor man's "source dependencies"

[David Welton <davidw@master.debian.org>]

Sort of a vague idea popped into my head.  Don't know if it's already
been considered and rejected or anything, but...:

Would it be easier to just find the list of packages necessary to
build everything, and say 'ok, this is the list you need for a build
system'.  That wouldn't be terribly useful for recreating a 'make
world', but at least it would let the ports people know what to shoot
for...  Unless it were too big a list...

Hrmm...
