Well, one thing is to look at the runtime libs which are required. You most
likely need the runtime libs packages for all your -dev dependencies. In
addition you can log the file opens (strace) while you build. And then
search all those files in the package list. Actually this sounds like a good
idea. Perhaps fakeroots lib has some support for that? I think there are
some "make install" watchers out there which trap writing, so reading should
be done as easyly.
