I was afraid of this when we were actively removing those a few months back.
Anyway, I think we can partially script this as well. I think we already have a script that can run otool on fink binaries and tell you which packages it needs, that can be extended to just email the maintainers with a list of all their packages, and what libraries they 'appear' to depend on based on otool -L'ing every file in the package. (highlighting ones that are not currently listed) That could also be added to an advanced fink validate for .deb files, perhaps.
Anyone want to have a hack at it? :)
to get you started:
% dlocate -L tar | xargs otool -L
...
/sw/bin/tar:
/sw/lib/libintl.1.dylib (compatibility version 2.0.0, current version 2.1.0)
% dlocate -S /sw/lib/libintl.1.dylib gettext: /sw/lib/libintl.1.dylib
(you can also use dpkg instead of dlocate, but dlocate is much faster)
:)
