IMO, this script should not be part of a normal build. It should be a
simple extra utility that a maintainer can call every so often to validate
their build deps. Generating build deps should not be part of the normal
build process, and since quite a bit of it is false information (the
libvfork.so library I used to make it work always shows up in there), the
output should only be user parsed and used as a reference, not an
automatic update to the control file.
