Maybe check out the --detect flag from the README that claims to do just that?

  Oh, wow! They've thought of everything.

  That will detect files in a system package, but not files in a system package depended on by a system package depended on by a system package. It depends on how the distro packages deps and how apps use them. There are apps which use non-linked files that are only provided in extra packages. And even if you walk the whole dependency graph for a single package and export all listed files, you miss files that are created and updated during the setup steps of a package install (which are not listed in the package).

    As long as the automatic way finds most things, and there is any way to manually include arbitrary things, that is actually perfectly great to me. I don't understand what the complaint or expectation is here.

      Just trying to put out there to expect undefined behavior or failures. Users might not understand how applications work and so might expect more than is possible. The strace trick is a nice workaround but I didn't see it in the readme
