A Debian/Ubuntu status file is a good start (of course you need to dig further for build depends) and helpful enough for "provenance" that I've found it useful at a couple of startups to deploy code as debs packages specifically to be part of that graph - obviously not perfect, but often good enough to go automatically from CVE -> USM -> upstream package -> what part of our code cares about that - someone still has to think about the vulnerability, but it reduces a lot of obvious noise and helps drill down quicker.
