You can rebuild them and change the subversion. You should also be able to put them in testing - but you seem to have no write permission to the core repository. Just put them in testing with the rest and someone else can move them to core when the time comes.
I guess that means that we'll have to move libcap in [core].
We have been leaving makedeps in [extra]... Not sure if it is a formal policy decision.

I think it depends if these makedepends have any (make)depends in extra. Instead of moving them to core along with their whole dependency chain, we just keep them in extra because it makes more sense (eg. python-m2crypto). Libcap only depends on glibc so it doesn't have this problem.
