I commented a bit on dependency generation at 
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2011-05/msg01925.html> - I think the 
incremental approach I suggested there is more likely to make useful 
progress than trying to do it again with a monolithic patch.  Various 
cleanups would also be helpful for both automatic generation and 
maintainer-script updates of dependencies.
