Does any dependency generation we use currently (i.e. Perl or even just the plain C/C++ stuff) do anything for build dependencies? I'm pretty sure they don't.
I don't see why any proposal for automating runtime dependencies would need to address that. Especially given that for Python you generally don't need much more than setuptools to install a module unless it has a test suite, unlike, say, C or C++ where you need -devel packages.
