I totally agree with this, the pkg maintainers should be making sure
the -L/sw/lib and bogus deps don't make the .la files, fixing
pilot-link9 wasn't an easy task because of this, I had to disable iconv

Yes, that is the answer. Any packages which don't should be fixed. Feel

if they break without them, I'd say they need them. Builddepends and
Depends aren't always easy to see but it doesn't mean they aren't

Several packages do not compile when only gettext-dev is installed but
not libiconv-dev. They compile OK when either both of them are installed
or none of them. One example I have seen is irssi, another one is
libiconv, and I am pretty sure there are others.
