I see - sounds like we need a machine-readable cross-distro way to describe dependencies. Ideally in groups, like "minimal" dependencies, "test only", "maximum features" etc. We could even translate these automatically or semi-automatically into spec files, debian directory etc. This would be nice to have but I'm not aware of a way to do this. Didn't Andrea describe something like this recently?
