I put something together which might (after recoding in a safe manner)
bu useful to others or be considered a horrible hack (which I'd like to
know of). I invoke this script:
#!/bin/sh -e
cd debian
pkgs=$(grep-dctrl -sPackage -n -FSection libdevel control)
for p in $pkgs; do
includes="$includes -I $p/usr/include"
done
for pkg in $pkgs; do
{
printf 'header:Depends='
for header in $(find "$pkg" -name "*.h"); do
gcc -MM -MT '' -E $includes $header
done | sed "s|^:||;s|^ *||;\|^$pkg/|d;s|/.*| (= \${binary:Version}),|"
| sort -u | tr '\n' ' '
printf '\n'
} >>"$pkg.substvars"
done
from debian/rules like
override_dh_gencontrol:
debian/check_header_deps
dh_gencontrol
and use Depends: ${header:Depends} in the control file. Works for me in
the single case I tested.
Do you think it's worth developing into some proper helper?
