BUT, I disagree with the proposed method of obtaining this knowledge.
As far as I can understand from the discussion, the method is to build
all possible combinations of Current and Alphabetical chapter 6 from
each other, and do some IPA. This will give us the knowledge whether
those two build orders produce identical results. This knowledge is of
zero value if the current build order misses some optional dependency.
The only known true (but very expensive) method of determining package
dependencies absolutely correctly without reading the whole source
code is to run the whole build process under strace.
I take my words back. ICA does catch optional dependencies, but doesn't
provide an explicit list of them.
