As others have said it before: these tools don't magically find dependencies.
So it is a user who specified it and in most cases not in auto* or *make, but
in a external script/config file. This means either the package author of the
broken package or the author of the (for example) pkg-config file has to
correct it. So it is correct that not always the broken package is the reason
for that problem.

I expect ~600 broken packages. I don't have really time to check in detail
what is broken. I do a quick check if it looks like this is the fault of the
package and not the build system, but I cannot create patches for every
problem. I am really sorry if I submit a wrong bug.
To show you that this is probably real a broken config file I attached you a
patch which fixes this packages. I would feel better if it would use pkg-
config or something similar, but I don't know qmake4 good enough to find how
to use it correctly.
And the problem is only that it uses for example XKeysymToKeycode in
hotkeywrapper.cc:305 which is defined by libX11.so `readelf -s
/usr/lib/libX11.so|grep XKeysymToKeycode` - but doesn't link to it correctly.

You don't have to fix these things. A report back to the upstream author would
be everything I expect from a maintainer. If he real fixes it by himself -
wow, that's wonderful, but I don't force anybody to do that.
