That's pretty much true.  We often saw when the type of the object
changes from file to directory or vice versa, and that does not
make a stale .depend happy at all.  Also, I sometimes see problems
with -DNOCLEAN upgrades in OpenSSL, I suspect there might be some
missing hardcoded dependencies in its makefiles; I have not looked
into it yet.
