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. Regards, Fumitoshi UKAI
