It can be a little confusing for new users because the tooling will print
warnings about this:

openiked W: Dependency glibc included but already satisfied
openiked W: Dependency openssl included but already satisfied

But Arch's packaging policy says "Do not rely on transitive dependencies
in any of the PKGBUILD#Dependencies, as they might break if one of the
dependencies is updated."

These two things seem to be in conflict with each other, so I went with
the policy statement as the deciding rule.

I can remove that, but it also sounds like a transitive dependency.
Is base-devel an exception? Maybe the documentation on this issue could
be clarified a bit.

(They've probably gotten sick of seeing my name in those bug report emails
by now, huh?)

Anyway, I appreciate your input.
