There is a logical possibility they might be reduced too _ but  I  
have no
idea how to quantify this..
Agree with you that I don't expect it to be major ..
for that, we'd need a tool to do the equivalent of adding to every  
compile
command "-H", grepping those ouptputs out of the log file and and  
passing
through sort -u and dpkg -S ..
I've done this occasionally for individual pkgs, but see no way to  
systematise
it in any easy way, if only because many configure scripts breaK IF
"-H" is added to the CPPFLAGS ...
