Sure? I think it's easier than you think: someone's already written
code to extract the information from .hi files (and indeed ghc will dump
it for you: ghc --dump-iface foo.hi). In theory there could be a
master dictionary of these hosted on hackage, collected from each
package's own dictionary, and a given package's dependencies could be
computed with high accuracy from it.
It's a good idea, but conditional compilation makes it quite a bit harder.
Cheers,
Simon
