Here is an example:
== main.d ==
import lib1;
Foo x = 42;

== lib1.d ==
module lib1;
public import lib2;

== lib2.d ==
module lib2;
alias Foo = int;

== Output of gdc -fmake-deps ==
$ gdc -fmake-deps -o /dev/null -c main.d
main.o: main.d /usr/lib/gcc/i586-linux-gnu/5/include/d/object.di lib1.d

The expected output would, of course, include lib2.d.
