Some questions about that. Looking at skel.ebuild I thought that
RDEPEND did not need to be defined since it would default to DEPEND,
yet lintool considers not defining it an error.

Is it considered better to allow things to default when the documented
defaults are correct or to explicitly define everything, in which case
I would have thought the skel.ebuild should tell you the normal values
but not say they are defaults for when items are not specified.

I've already submitted one ebuild and hope to submit more, so I want
to get them as 'correct' as possible.
