Subject: [gentoo-dev] Bugzilla Bug 79337 make repoman complain if DEPEND and RDEPEND are not set.

As suggested by SpanKY in the bug report itself but never done until now
I'll gladly start up the discussion.

The bug report[1] is a request from the embedded team to change how
DEPEND and REDEPEND are assigned in an ebuild.  At present the
documentation[2] states that RDEPEND if not specified will be set to
DEPEND.  Apparently the embedded team has issue with that, mostly that
it pollutes exactly what RDEPEND is there for, making their ROOT much
larger than it has to be.

The actual fix to the bug is a minor one, a small check to Repoman to
make sure ebuilds have both DEPEND and RDEPEND set; and to warn if they
are not set.

However the use of DEPEND and RDEPEND in the manner that they are
requesting is a large change and thus was brought here for discussion.
