No, makedepends does something conceptually different. The package is specifically intended to keep cli-compression tools installed without having to individually track them, whereas makedepends literally doesn't do that and means they are only temporarily required during the building process of a package. I'm not quite sure what the reporter intended here, but it reads like a misunderstanding of what the different dependency fields do in a PKGBUILD?
