You need to include base packages which are not in base-devel, as the package won't build without those sometimes. For example some packages detect systemd at build time and then adds its service files to the package. At least as makedepends they need to be specified. I was also angry about this first, but this is actually a more clear way to build packages without unnecessary dependencies. Every user should build packages using devtools anyways to detect deps properly and to produce clean packages. ~Nico
