I'm guessing this patch was more a request for comments rather than for actual consideration given a few of the issues I point out below mean this will not actually work... So I will not comment on implementation at all.
I don't see a problem which really prevents this approach on dependency generation.
Well, the patch being broken and so I assume untested was my main issue. I will not review a patch the submitter has not even tested.
I tested it by unpacking some packages and running a script that outputs the arrays. (copied from the patch) For the part where it merges the 2 arrays I only tested the depends stuff though and copied the provides part. Sadly made a mistake when replacing.
