My rule of thumb: * For makedepends we can assume to have base and base-devel installed. * For depends we should list all dependencies; especially for packages that are in [core]. * For core packages one also need to make sure that everything called from the install script is included in the deps (e.g. awk, sed etc.) This is important for the installer and building chroots; so pacman knows the correct order to install these packages. To test this just try something like pacman -Sy nano -r <somedir>. And no, this does not even install pacman in the chroot, so we cannot really assume its deps here neither.
