I don't know how we did earlier, but I guess we remove it (I'm not on linux
machine now, just looked into gitweb), which is odd.

Yes. A word missing :-/ (deletion). So you have an orphan package 'pkg'
installed on system. You like it, but you didn't change its install reason to
explicit with --asexplicit. You build something via makepkg which pulls a
package from sync, which needs 'pkg'. Then the final remove_deps steps will also
remove pkg due to -Rs, which you probably didn't want...
Vmiklos's method: he records the state of installed packages at the beginning of
makepkg then he removes the new packages at the end. Package upgrade can mess
things up a bit here too, since if you upgrade a package, that may have pulled
new dependencies, which is needed after makepkg run (no downgrade). But we have
a fancy -Ru option for this (and in general to force -R without harm) ;-P
