Most of the libdependencies can just be rewritten no? Normal package dependencies should already be okay.

Well I would rely on the package info (depends, et al. ) because it should already be correct. Of course you can find out all stuff with objdump, but is that not too far fetched if it already has been done? And it solves the undocumented behaviour problem...
