I vote for depends as well. Aren't conflicts and provides already there too? It seems to fit perfectly with those. I also say we should try to put it consistently in depends, including in the repos. We may need to have a rather extended transition period where it is in both, however, as we should try to be backwards compatible with what pacman2 expects for a while.
Well, the argument for using /desc is that it's already read in the case of a sysupgrade, making it quicker to load using the files backend.
But shouldn't we be reading conflicts and provides anyway in the case of a sysupgrade? -Dan
