As Ben Collins already pointed out, strace can't follow child process's
access.
BTW, "auto-apt debuild", which is in auto-apt package in woody, will
produce better estimation of build dependencies. It's not too difficult
to get perfect build dependencies. For instance, since auto-apt uses
LD_PRELOAD tricks, it can't follow setuid executable, but it's rare
case, I think. It didn't take essential packages and package versions
into account, but I'll fix it in the future.
