Personally I've always found the current behavior very annoying. Why
not just generate the arch standard names for the depends array and
let the packager work it out if that isn't correct? Defaulting to the
standard seems better than defaulting to print everything, most of
which gets removed by hand. It's the single biggest peeve I have with
pacpan. (Not to say that I don't find it useful.)
