I just wanted to clear this up with the other TUs: Is it ok for [community] packages to have optional deps on AUR packages or not?

We generally tell people that we do not support AUR packages and because of this there are no AUR (download/install) helpers in the repos. If you start adding such dependencies that goes against this idea of separation. Actually I can't even think of a way to explain why AUR helpers and AUR packages are not supported while at the same time telling people to install them. This just doesn't fit. Just pull the packages into the repos or don't include the deps. Florian
