@ngoonee
my point is that if a user can edit depends=, he could also as well
edit build flags.

@Det
i dont think this is a good idea to ban users like this. someone mentioned that
creating too many similar packages will create confusion. I dont think
this applies to me.
i already renamed the package to "google-chrome-no-gconf"; this is
really clear and distinguishable
from 3 other google-chrome packages.

@everyone
for people who read my last post, i just searched mplayer:
mplayer-fribidi-pulse and mplayer-fribidi. you might think "why does
these guys create  new pkgbuild while mplayer in extra has all these
features?" the reason is that "he feels he needs to", and i think this
is enough.

btw, there are many pkgbuild that are "out-of-date for a long time",
"does not compile", "orphaned  for years", or "has dead upstream". I
think you should put effort on these packages. picking on the packages
that are similar should be the last thing to work on.
