I think it's worth adding a note (in parentheses) to the ''Dependencies''
section that some package['s ordinary build] does ''not'' depend on
{{{xy}}} especially if (e.g) the upstream contains source files for /
files (usually) to be processed by {{{xy}}}, or in cases where the package
''previously'' depended on some package(s), but no longer does. (And even
if there erroneously was some dependency listed in
{{{spkg/standard/deps}}}.)
Typical candidates for {{{xy}}} are Python, Perl, lex/flex, yacc/bison
etc. (Autotools should not be listed.)
Also, some packages only do ''not'' depend on some others (e.g. libraries)
''in Sage'' just because of the way we configure, patch or build / install
them. IMHO as well worth a note.
