Perhaps.  That makes the assumption that nothing anywhere adds
anything to DEPS which does not match `.*.d'

My formulation makes a smaller assumption about DEPS (nothing adds
anything not ending with .d) but a larger assumption about .d (there
are no Makefile pattern targets which use .d for other purposes).

I think the 2nd assumption is reasonable and the expanded 1st
assumption is questionable.

Ian.
