i've never put together a hints file, and i may be reading the reports wrong, but if you look at this briefly and it looks similar, you might get even more good Debian karma by hinting these packages.
of course, these are a bit more complicated than scim because of the -dev packages; i haven't fully traced the dependencies myself here yet.
does this fit within the bounds of your thought of the graph-theoretic approach to identifying these little dependency knots?
