I've been contemplating something like this for a while as well. What do others on the list think, is this getting to be too much, or does this make sense? I think I would be fine with it. We will need documentation (namely PKGBUILD.5.txt) to be patched as well in the final patch.
Didn't think of that.

Aaron closed this as "Wont't implement" two years ago.

It is a good feature for a packager. I am doing some packages where I always have to build with -d, as some of the dependencies are never present at build time. However, I still want makepkg to check whether all other dependencies are there.
I do see the use in this because I build regularly where I need to use the -d option, which unfortunately prevents a single dependency from being checked. Two years is a long time, so there has been plenty of time to reconsider, and I find the reasons in the bug report just as valid as they were two years ago. -Dan
