For these reasons, manual specification of dependencies can be reliable only if these specifications are tested as part of the regression tests. That is, if the tests for module X operate in an environment in which only the stated (and transitive) dependencies of X are present.
This looked impractical to me at first, but on second thought, it probably can be done with just a modification to "b2 headers" - there's no need to actually delete the libraries not listed as dependencies, just their header links.
