  Yeah, there's no way this is gonna work. Dependencies are not
only about dynamic libraries, they could be about executable files,
data files, or something else entirely. ldd would only give you a
very partial idea of a package's dependencies.

  I'm afraid there's no easy way - you cannot automate dependency
tracking. If you're going to package software, you will have to
manually list all the dependencies for every single one of your
packages.
