Is there something better for pure Makefiles? I've tried the gcc
method according to the Make manual, but was unable to get it to
generate *one* file with dependencies (or specifically, append to the
Makefile). One dependency file per object file is not acceptable to
me.

Sorry for being dense -- is that suggestion meant for me, or for the
Debian people handling this package?  I can certainly do it, if that
is the best way.
