There is afaik no rule that prevents /extra packages from depending on /community, but the number should be kept small.
As long as there is no rule (and don't get me wrong, I'm not in favour of unnecessary bureaucracy) then there's no issue here. As packages from [extra] depend on those in [community] I wonder whether it would make sense for TUs and devs to coordinate rebuilds. I understand that in the case of [core]/[extra] most devs updating a library just simply trigger a pkgrel update for rebuilding since they have the proper access rights, but obviously TUs don't for [core]/[extra]. Using [community-testing] and [testing] for this purpose also comes down to the same issue as I don't think TUs can move packages from [testing].
TUs can create rebuild todo lists the same as devs can. In this case, it was simply missed. It happens. Doug
