[arch-general] how to handle dependency cycle?

Hello,

I found dependency cycle in extra:

libjpeg -> nasm (makedepends)
nasm -> ghostscript (makedepends)
ghostscript -> libjpg (depends)

check_package.py script (one that sends Integrity Check to
arch-dev-public) does not treat this as dependency cycle, but clearly
I can't build one package without at least one another.

Assuming I have no packages from extra, how do I handle this? In this
case I could just drop ghostscript from nasm and everything will work
(well, I hope so). This is just bug?

(I'm trying to write script that could rebuild all packages from scratch)
