Maybe OT (an idea in a very early state): For the implicit dependencies one could think of path-sandbox to help: Inform libsandbox which files are provided by packages both in *DEPEND and the system package set, and let it completely deny access to not-listed files. Or let it report any access to not-listed files to help finding the implicit dependencies.
