I'd say to defer this issue until auto* is in place.  Just live
without dependencies by now.  They are only useful for developers
anyway, IOW for us -- and we can always type "make clean" after
changing a header file.  (avr-libc didn't get the doxygen dependencies
right all the time, i always type rm -rf build/doc/api/latex* in order
to force the docs to be rebuilt...)

Also, couldn't linux_ppdev.h and ppi.h merged?  That would remove the
root of this discussion. ;-)
