Depending on what do you mean by "all" this is not always what we want. We
often don't put all modules imported by all parts of the shipped code into
Depends, instead using Recommends, Suggests or nothing.

Similarly, all modules installed for tests shouldn't always go into
Depends ("all modules installed for tests" is ideally the same as "all
modules imported by all parts of the shipped code", plus test system
deps, and minus deps for e.g. Windows code that we ship but don't run or
test).

Well our tools can look at the deps declared by the upstream, and normally
do that as a part of the build process. But that won't help when those
deps are not what we want.
