Wix heat.exe with project harvesting type

Question

Hi, I'm using the lastest version of Wix 3.5 and I'm trying to generate a fragment file using heat.exe. The command line is :

"%WIX%\bin\heat.exe" project "MyProj.csproj" -pog Binaries -pog Content -suid -directoryid 
INSTALLLOCATION -ag -template fragment -out "Files.wxs"

The prolem I'm having is that the assemblies my project is depending uppon are missing from the generated file. Is this the intended behaviour ? How can I add them ?

Should I use the dir harvesting type ?! How to remove *.pdb or *.vshost.exe then ?

I want to use it with CI Server (TeamCity)

edit: I tryied -pog Satellites and doesn't work either

In our CI build we are using WiX with hand crafted wxs files.
Here is content of the build file:

<Target Name="BuildSetup"  DependsOnTargets="BuildSetupVersion">
    <Exec Command="$(WIX-ToolPath)\candle.exe -nologo -out $(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\bin\Debug\Designer.wxs UI_RUS.wxs Bin.wxs" WorkingDirectory = "$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\bin\Debug"/>
    <Exec Command="$(WIX-ToolPath)\light.exe -wx -out Setup_$(Major).$(Minor).$(Build).$(Revision).msi Designer.wixobj UI_RUS.wixobj Bin.wixobj" WorkingDirectory = "$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\bin\Debug"/>
    <Message Text="##teamcity[publishArtifacts '$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\bin\Debug\Setup_$(Major).$(Minor).$(Build).$(Revision).msi']"/>-->
</Target>

Designer.wxs - contains program specific msi info (UpgradeCode, msi Version, and Package info).
UI_culture(RUS in this example).wxs - contains custom localized WiX UI.
Bin.wxs - contain all needed files.(you can automate it with wxi generation and using WiX's includes), but we simply write this file manually.
