No.  You wanted (and others have agreed) that "make depend" should behave
similarly in kernel and userland builds, i.e., to not redundantly rebuild
the .depend file every time "make depend" is run.

The steps are like above only when you do incremental builds AND use the
NO_CLEAN option.  Even that, the "cleandepend" will only be necessary in
rare cases, when problems that started this discussion arise (i.e.,
header or source files disappear).

If you need automation, use "make buildkernel", or stop using NO_CLEAN.
