Just as efficient as the module authors... (Score:1)

Speaking from a porters point of view i've seen _so_ many modules with wrong and/or hidden dependencies that i hardly believe the results will be satisfactory to all of us.
Even if you just focus on build/run-depends you'll notice many inconsistencies :-/

Sure it's a nice to have - but unfortunately not as reliable as we might hope.

The most effective way... would be correct dependencies or collecting them manually... or better: allow to mark wrong dependencies so we have a way to identify them and file proper bug reports.
