There are tools for discovering what files belong to which package, and
what dependencies there are.  But...

You may find that a tool uses some function if its available, and
doesn't really care if it's not available.  It'll do something else,
instead, or simply not offer some particular feature.

If you run a program via the command line, you may see a flurry of
messages go up the screen about things it couldn't do.  None of which
are of any concern to you unless you needed *that* aspect of the thing.
 
An example that springs to mind is mplayer.  If I try something like:

  mplayer testfile.mkv

It will try to load some files to do with a remote control, that I
don't have, it'll report it couldn't find LIRC support and say I won't
be able to use a remote control, but the file will play quite fine
without it.

i.e. You *may* be chasing after something that's not important.
