That is what auto-apt seems to do. It wrapps open, open64, execv*, and also
"access", and some weird (for me) *xstat* functions.
OTOH, Ben's dpkg-genbuilddeps handles the vfork problem mentioned
before wrapping vfork and actually using the fork system call from it,
so it should be safer than using a plain strace, I guess.
