Yes we do.  Otherwise a header file change won't cause the correct c files to 
rebuild.  This is more obvious with the kernel .depend file.  eg I change 
pmap.h without a .depend file nothing rebuilds, change it with and half the 
kernel rebuilds.  In this case I think something is wrong with the clean up 
though.
