Whatever is listed in the top-level depends and makedepends will be 
installed during package build. Package-specific depends can be listed 
(or appended to) within the each split package's _package() function 
(otherwise the top-level depends is used).

No, a split package is appropriate. PKGBUILD files are intended for 
package maintainers, not for consumption by AUR helpers. ;)
