It looks like pacman is able to see which package it needs to retrieve a specific VCS source. Do we still need to include those in makedepends?

makepkg only uses those to see which package handles which URLs, and then checks whether they’re in the depends arrays, if they’re not it prints an error and fails. There was a task on the FS[1] about changing it to install them, but it’s a WontFix.
