  Ok. Will do.

  I have also written a script which computes naive package dependencies
  based on directory containment. I.e., if package A contains path foo/
  and package B contains path foo/bar/, then B depends on A. I propose
  to write these dependencies to distrib/sets/deps, which regpkg will
  use to produce @pkgdep directives.

  Attached are syspkgdeps (computes package dependencies), culldeps
  (removes redundant dependencies), sets.subr (packing list functions),
  and deps (example output).

  I don't think that I need to explain why proper dependencies for system
  packages are important, but if you want for me to say a few words,
  just ask.

Dave
