I'd go with RDEPEND only. Any other interpretation results in

That's definitely not what we want. Only a package's DEPENDs have to be
installed and usable when that package is built. Its RDEPENDs don't
have to be installed until that package is treated as usable.
For why this matters:
cat/a-1: RDEPEND cat/b
cat/b-1: RDEPEND cat/a
This is solvable. If package managers can't solve this, they can't
install Gnome off a stage 3...
I think Donnie (and I) are both looking for concrete examples here.
You're claiming GNOME can't be installed so please give us an example
with in-tree packages where this breaks.
