Hello Allan,

i think i found another bug. Every package that is a split-build and not
in the first position in the pkgname build-order shows an empty
"Optional dependencies" string during installation. I think there is
something wrong in restore_package_variables during variable resetting
to initial values or in backup_package_variables during the backup
declaration. It looks like there are to much quotes around the
declaration so that it declares an empty string. Maybe a "-z" check
before the actual variable declaration could fix that particular
problem.
